36 inch Golden Rod Dehumidifier - Sealed new in package.

For pennies a day, GoldenRod® Dehumidifiers safely eliminate the dampness and humidity that lead to mildew, condensation, rust & corrosion. . . forever. We guarantee it!

GoldenRod® protects your possessions from mildew, mold, and rust. It has no moving parts, installs in minutes, safe from fire danger and burns.

Installation Instructions
Installation is simple. Attach the universal bracket using the stainless screws supplied with the unit and snap the GoldenRod® in place into the bracket. GoldenRod® must be mounted horizontally at the bottom of an enclosure to work effectively. It can be mounted as a freestanding application or brackets may be attached to a vertical wall. GoldenRod® MUST always be mounted horizontally in order to work correctly.

Safe
Safety is important for any form of dehumidifier left working in any unattended area. The GoldenRod® Dehumidifier is the safest on the market.

Unlike a light bulb that many people leave burning and hanging over a hook, the GoldenRod® mounts securely into place so it will not swing or fall, possibly breaking and causing a fire. Unlike a light bulb that creates intense heat in a concentrated ball, the GoldenRod® distributes heat evenly over the length of the Rod.

The light bulb uses 75 to 100 watts. This not only generates a possible fire risk, but is also very expensive. The GoldenRod®, with a maximum power of 38 watts, generates the necessary heat without ever coming close to the flash point of paper or plastic and does its job for just pennies a day.

Some people use a space heater which usually operates between 1200 to 1500 watts. This generates excessive heat and is an expensive operation. The GoldenRod®, with its even heating, saves the risk and cost of fire as well as saving money.

The GoldenRod® is available with a removable plug for instances that require the wire to be routed through a wall, partition or cabinet. Following the instructions, just remove the plug, push the wire through the hole and reassemble the plug on the other side.

Running Cost of the GoldenRod® Dehumidifiers
With the smallest GoldenRod® running at 8 watts (100 cubic feet) and the largest at 38 watts (500 cubic feet) GoldenRod® dehumidifiers cost a fraction of other electric methods. It literally amounts to pennies a day!

Guarantee!
GoldenRod® has a Lifetime Guarantee. Plug it in and forget about it! UL listed and made in the USA.

Marine Applications

GoldenRod® was designed to handle the worst kinds of humidity problems, which often occur on a boat. Nothing feels worse than a wet bunk with damp sheets. With a GoldenRod® your bunk will always be fresh and dry.

Nothing tastes worse than soggy crackers. But with a GoldenRod® your crackers, cereal and other dry goods stay as fresh as the day you bought them. Soap powder will pour and the cans won't rust!   Nothing smells worse than dank, musty shipboard odors. But with a GoldenRod® they won't be part of your life. Everything will be fresh and odor-free - even the head!   Once positioned in your boat, GoldenRod® needs no attention. When you are underway, it stays put. While you are in port, GoldenRod® automatically works to eliminate moisture.   Used in the bilge, it will keep the dank bilge water smell from pervading your boat.

Keeps wires dry, prevents corrosion and faulty connections, engines start easier and maintenance costs go down. Used in the foc'sle, sail lockers and gear closets, GoldenRod® eliminates inherent moist, musty conditions; mold and mildew. Electronics technicians recommend GoldenRod® as a primary means of protecting sophisticated electronics equipment. GoldenRod® will extend the life of your electronics, radar, radio, depthsounders and other vital, life saving equipment and keep them working far more reliably.

Residential Applications

	As well as basements and garages, in humid climates, houses are susceptible to problems with mold, mildew, corrosion, soggy plaster, moldy closets, peeling paint and wood rot. A series of GoldenRods® can preserve and keep these areas dry.
	Closets where shoes and clothing are stored.
	Keep foods fresh and crisp. Great for dry goods pantry and food storage areas.

Gun Safes / Lockers / Cabinets

	1. Metallic and wooden gun parts 2. Ammunition. 3. Powder. 4. Leather or slings, pouches, etc. 5. Carrying cases. 6. Cleaning materials. 7. Vests and other clothing.

GoldenRod® was designed to handle the worst kinds of humidity problems which can take place in a gun locker or safe.

The guns in the cabinet above are being bathed in constantly warm, dry air as the GoldenRod® mounted at the bottom of the safe functions 24 hours a day. Air that is warmed by the GoldenRod® rises up through the guns and is replaced by cool air creating a constant cycle of air movement.

In the process, the temperature of the metal parts in the guns are increased slightly (about 3 degrees) -just enough to eliminate the tendency of cold metal to condense moisture of the damp air. Wood parts are maintained at a warmth level that discourages moisture from building up embedding and other metal-to-wood contact areas. These are the most vulnerable to rust, corrosion, and pitting. They are also the most difficult to detect in a routine gun inspection. With the GoldenRod® on guard, this condition is eliminated. GoldenRod® is the safest method of controlling and eliminating dampness. Plug it in and forget about it.

Recreational Vehicles

RV's and trailers do not suffer from dampness as much as boats, but they may encounter the same problems. A stored RV or one with a cover, can quickly develop condensation leaving dampness and humidity. Nothing feels worse than a wet bunk with damp sheets. With a GoldenRod® your bunk will always be fresh and dry.

Nothing tastes worse than soggy crackers. But with a GoldenRod® your crackers, cereal and other dry goods stay as fresh as the day you bought them.   Nothing smells worse than dank, musty carpet and engine odors. But with a GoldenRod® they won't be part of your life. Everything will be fresh and odor-free - even the lavatory!

Keeps wires dry, prevents corrosion and faulty connections, engines start easier, and maintenance costs go down. Used in the closets and storage lockers, GoldenRod® eliminates inherent moist, musty conditions, mold and mildew. Electronic technicians recommend GoldenRod® as a primary means of protecting electronic equipment. GoldenRod® will extend the life of your electronics, radio, TV, microwave, stereo, CB and keep them working far more reliably. Once positioned in your RV or trailer, GoldenRod® needs no attention. When you are on the road, it stays put. While you are in the camp site and plugged into the AC, GoldenRod® automatically works to eliminate moisture. When it is stored, make sure it has an uninterrupted source of power, this will keep your traveling home fresh and dry.

Basements and Garages

GoldenRod® is the ideal solution for dampness control in basements and garages.
Install GoldenRod® in storage cabinets, storage sheds and around baseboards in the garage for the ultimate in protection against rust, mold and mildew.
	Perfect for use in storing antique or classic cars. Place the GoldenRod® on the floor below the car. Place a loose fitting cover or sheet over the car. The GoldenRod® will do the rest

Motorcycles
	Many garages, basements and storage sheds where motorcycles are stored are prone to moisture and dampness. Finely finished parts can be pitted with rust and corrosion. If a bike is covered with a tarp, condensation can develop. The GoldenRod® is the ideal solution for garage storage dampness.

Plus many more applications

Camera Equipment & Film
	Camera equipment is particularly vulnerable to dampness. The small mechanisms will rust, shutters will jam, and winders will stop. Todays cameras rely on micro circuitry which can corrode. Film absorbs moisture and will deteriorate. This is another perfect situation for a GoldenRod®.
Antiques & Collectibles
	Antiques, especially those with fabric, inlays, metals and other moisture susceptible materials are deserving of protection. Other collectibles can succumb to rust, mold and mildew. Use a GoldenRod® or as many GoldenRods® as necessary

GoldenRod® and Aircraft

Stored aircraft have many of the same problems as RV's and boats. They have fabric, upholstery, delicate instruments, electrical and electronic components as well as engines that are susceptible to damage from dampness

FAQ's

What size GoldenRod® do I need?
Since you can't overprotect your valuables, we strongly recommend using the longest GoldenRod® which will fit in an area and use multiple units where necessary.

How do I figure the cubic feet in the area I need to protect?
Multiply the length by the width by the height (L x W x H = cubic feet). Say, for example, you have a cabinet that stands 6 feet tall, is 4 feet wide and 2 feet deep. 6 x 4 x 2 = 48 cubic feet which would be amply served by the 12 inch GoldenRod®.

How does GoldenRod® work?
GoldenRod® heats to a surface temperature of less than 150 degrees (which is almost too warm to hold) and circulates warm, dry air throughout an enclosure on a 24 hour basis. This increases the temperature of the air inside to several degrees above the ambient outside temperature. Expansion of the heated air forces the moist air outside through the vents or loose fitting doors leaving the dry air inside. In order to work correctly, it is important to ensure that there is adequate ventilation.

Can I install GoldenRod® myself and how do I install it?
Yes, you can do it with simple tools. Using a drill and screwdriver, just attach the universal brackets using the enclosed screws. Then snap the GoldenRod® in place into the brackets. The GoldenRod® MUST be mounted horizontally at the bottom of an enclosure to work effectively.

How many cubic feet does a GoldenRod® cover?
That depends on the model of the GoldenRod®. Pick the correct GoldenRod® based on the cubic footage you need to cover (see above) and the color you prefer (gold or white) with standard plug or detachable. Then select the model that meets or exceeds that cubic footage based on the chart below:

How many watts does a GoldenRod® use?

I purchased a very expensive motorcycle last month and I live near the beach. My garage has block walls. Some parts of my bike are getting rust pits. Can a GoldenRod® help me protect my bike?
Yes. You can mount a GoldenRod® horizontally on a 2x4, slip it under your bike when the bike cover is on and the GoldenRod® will keep the air under the cover (as well as your bike) moisture free.
