looks like a compressor model, not a thermo. that's not an issue as some would argue - simply get Chuck's drawers with glass tops for any you're not keeping in a box.

See that drain hole in the back? I put beads in the bottom, then ran a tube from that drain hole to the top of the beads... had to drill a hole to do it, but that keeps it a closed system.

Congratulations on the new pick up. I would plug the drain with electrical putty. And give it a scrub with baking soda and water or maybe even a diluted bleach solution as it is previously used.

If you you buy Shilala HCM beads please don't do that, according to Shilala that won't end good if you do.

How so? I haven't heard this before and am curious about the impact. Is the theory that the condensation isn't clean enough, or because the Shilala beads don't need the water to be "re-added"?

Sorry... didn't mean to threadjack...

no it was because of the amount of friction that is caused when water comes into direct contact with his beads can create enough heat to not only melt the bags they are packed in but damage other things around them. So the water has to come from an ambient source like sitting in a tupperware with a shotglass or somesuch.

No problem. Shilala says to never add water directly to the beads cause of the friction it causes. there is a youtube video that shows the bad conseqeunces.
