How can you tell if the Dry-PAC desiccant is still good? Is there a life expectancy for it? I am kinda new to this game and don’t want to ruin my pcp rifle, I haven’t used the pump much, maybe 15 or so times. Do the little white balls change color when they lose their ability to remove moisture? Just looking for things to look for so as not to ruin my airgun, any feed back from you guys and gals would be much appreciated, thanks in advance!

If its the Hill pump I don't notice a change in in the white balls color over the years but hardly used it.

It's the blue balls which turn color ... usually they turn pink ... at which time you need to heat them up until they turn blue again

The white desiccant does not change color. Do not use more than 90 days. Better, go on EBay and buy the orange desiccant. When it turns green change or put in oven at 250f until orange again.
