Part of the maintenance components for GRACO's 3-stage air preparation system that filters particles down to 0.01 micron and removes moisture. Desiccant indicators signal when replacement is needed for optimal efficiency. Desiccant beads are non-toxic and non-flammable. The desiccant gradually changes color from blue to pink, indicating it has absorbed moisture to the saturation point and needs to be regenerated or replaced. Can be regenerated by heating for 4 hours at 275°F (135°C).
