Keezer moisture solution

After building my small 2 keg keezer I was reading about moisture issues somewhere on this World Wide Web. It wasn't long after I got mine running that I began to notice a puddle in the bottom which I would clean up every time I changed a keg. Then I read about mold growing in keezers and someone suggested desiccant balls as a solution to reduce both moisture and the possibility of mold. On one of my occasional trips to Crappy Tire I saw these little containers with the desiccant balls with a catch bowl for moisture so I bought one to try. Now 4 months later I'm happy to report they work awesome, solved my moisture issues and I have never seen mold as of yet. I just bought 2 more of the containers today so I can change out the old one and have a back up spare. The desiccant balls seem to dissolve (that's how you know it's time to change it) and the water is trapped in the container. The cost is about $3 with tax and works for me. I'm attaching a couple pictures

Price is right, and they sound effective! One pack lasted 4 months?

I've been using these for about 5 years. They are awesome.

It was 4 months since I put the container in the keezer. No moisture or puddles, might of needed changing sooner but time slipped away and I didn't check it before. I'll try to check the next one more but it works well for the price.
