Thank you for choosing DryCaddy.
®
You’ll be glad
you did!
DryCaddy uses the most powerful, most aggressive,
and most effective desiccant on the market – molecular
sieve. It out-performs the more commonly used silica
gel desiccant in all categories with respect to the care of
delicate hearing aids.
The desiccant material is safe and does not contain any
hazardous chemicals.
Using a fresh DryCaddy Disc
®
desiccant every two months
ensures that the DryCaddy performs properly.
How does DryCaddy compare with Dry & Store
®
?
Without a doubt, an
active
drying appliance by Dry
& Store is the best way to care for hearing aids. And
DryCaddy is the “next-best” thing. Here’s why.
Dry & Store electronic appliances combine gentle heat,
moving air, and a desiccant to capture the moisture.
While there’s no heat or moving air inside the DryCaddy
jar, it does use a very effective, aggressive desiccant –
molecular sieve. Mol sieve is the best desiccant for drying
hearing devices because of how it works. First it does a
great job of attracting moisture, then it holds onto that
moisture by forming strong electrostatic bonds with the
polarizable water molecules. In other words, once mol
sieve gets its hands on moisture, it doesn’t let go.
For best results, place your hearing aids in the DryCaddy
every night or whenever you’re not wearing them.
Take DryCaddy with you to the pool or beach too. It
doesn’t require electricity, and the waterproof jar offers
protection from the elements while refreshing your
hearing devices.
Of course for the full measure of protection against
moisture damage and peak performance in demanding
conditions (warm or humid climates, active lifestyles,
perspiration, etc.) use an active drying system –
Dry & Store Global II or Zephyr.
Can the DryCaddy Disc desiccant be recharged?
The moisture-bonding strength that makes mol sieve
the best choice for drying hearing devices also makes
it difficult and impractical to reactivate. The high
temperature necessary to get the mol sieve to release
the moisture would cause the plastic DryCaddy Disc
desiccant container to melt before the mol sieve is
properly recharged.
It’s important to note that even silica gel desiccants
cannot be reactivated an infinite number of times. After
multiple reactivations, the silica gel’s structure changes
to the point that it does not attract or hold moisture.
Furthermore, if the temperature during reactivation is not
maintained within a narrow range, the silica gel can be
irreparably damaged.
Overall, reactivation simply is not a reliable process for
either silica gel or molecular sieve desiccants.
For best results, replace your DryCaddy Disc every two
months. Most importantly,
keep the DryCaddy jar lid
tightly closed except while placing or removing
your hearing aids
. This prevents unnecessary
introduction of ambient moisture into the jar, which will
shorten the life of your DryCaddy Disc.
Store unopened DryCaddy Discs in a cool, dry
place.
