Cleaning out moisture between window panes

[Tim Spargo]

Many of the Moisture Removals that are done on Windows do work! And if they don't these guys back that up too! Familiar firsthand with process

http://www.theglassguru.com

There are a few in different parts of the country, the technology and process originally came from Canada.

Some seals on the Insulated Glass Units are not able to handle the cleaning/drying agents, if someone doesn't know the different types of seals that were used.. the chemical agents used will eat up the seal.

In all, I've seen a few of these done and it works pretty well.

Just to give an update so everyone is aware as to how these panes do actually fail. The desiccants do become saturated (as Kenton mentioned) but it is not the only reason why thermal panes fail. It is definitely a contributing factor but the seals also fail due to the deterioration and breakdown of the adhesive sealant which then allows warm and cold air to infiltrate the air space between the sealed layers of glass. This seal can be compromised during the manufacturing process, movement of the sash while it is in warehouse or even during the shipping and installation process.

Hey Dave! Doing well, thanks.
I went to that link and looks like I'm wrong again, or at least half wrong, DOHHH!

That just gets me when they show a before and after picture and they are different houses.

Never seen it where a van looks further away the closer you get to the window. Plus there is a bush on the left of the left tree in the after picture but not in the before picture.

Reminds me of Jay Leno where they show the fat white man before he took these diet pills then they showed (supposable) the same man skinny. The only problem is that the skinny man was black.

I asked the Glass Gurus to post. If they do, I guess they better be able to answer the questions. If they don't, I guess we'll have a pretty good idea that they don't dare expose themselves to tough questioning.

Drying out the dessicant doesn't seem that difficult. Providing a warranty might be harder.

You can tell that they photo shopped this image. Look at the curtain at the top of the image. They blurred the "Before" image to make it look worse.
