Description
If you use a high-pressure hand pump, you know that moisture in the air can form condensation that can cause internal corrosion if it enters the air gun—a problem that can lead to leakage and expensive resealing repairs. The Benjamin Desiccant Kit provides a simple and effective solution.
Simply screw it onto the base of your Benjamin high-pressure hand pump in place of the sintered air filter. The silica material absorbs moisture, ensuring that your air rifle remains dry during every fill. The kit includes two silica packets that should be changed every 3-4 months—more or less depending on your local humidity and how frequently you use your high-pressure hand pump. When the silica needs to be changed, it turns pink. You can reuse the silica after drying it in the oven—check the instructions for details.
Features:
- Compatible only with Benjamin and PCP air gun pumps
- Reduces moisture that condensates in the pump
- Quick and easy installation
- Includes two reusable silica packs

I just wanted to point out the the two (2) silica desiccant packets included with my recent Benjamin Pump purchase here on the Crosman site were blue (not clear, as pictured, and as indicated in the instructions). It turns purple, then pink when it’s time for drying in the oven (as explained in the included instructions). The "Blue to Pink" version of rechargeable silica desiccant is just as common as the "Clear to Pink." The pump itself is fine, as far as hand pumps go…and because of its popularity, it has more available replacement parts and replacement o-ring kits and "how to" videos than any other pcp hand pump I can think of.

Well made, works but tough to complete stroke after 20000 psi.

The desiccant kit arrived without the fitting/adapter that allows it to connect to the pump. Bummer. I called Benjamin and they very promptly sent another. Good service, but they probably lost money because they sold a kit that didn’t have all the parts. Four stars, not five, because of that. I think all pumps should have desiccant/air driers and Benjamin should strongly advise people who buy pumps to also buy the desiccant kit. The desiccant seems to work well, and it’s quite easy to re-dry the desiccant from time to time.

Good companion, but should come standard with their own pump.
