You may recall that 4 months ago I installed a new air dryer system for the aux compressor. Last weekend I changed the desiccant for the first time. Today I rejuvenated the used desiccant in our home microwave. The sequence of photos below shows the results at approx minute 0, 3, 6 and 10.
It's 2 quarts of desiccant.
Any bad odors when you cook the stuff?
No odors at all.
Edit: when I transferred it from the bowl to the storage container, there was a surprising amount of dust. Not huge billowing clouds, but enough to make me understand why desiccant filter maintenance is important.
