Can these be re-activated when saturated?

I have not tried this specific packaging, but have read that, in general, silica gel can be reactived by baking in a moderate temperature oven, which evaporates the water that the gel had absorbed.

I put several of these packs around the inside of my boat cabinets ... they really don't get saturated or even wet. You would think they would. However ... there is a another product that is like a small bucket with a white tray on the top. You pour the same stuff that is in these little bags onto the top of the tray. You come back in 2 weeks and the little bucket is filled with water ... like almost 2 cups ... that means it is taking the moisture out of the air.

As I understand that you can reuse till they get hard. I've reused mine over 6 months and are still good and there still moist but when they get hard they say to replace. But for the best answer go to there website and check faq.

This comes as a powder in an envelope. I don't know if you could use it as is or not. The instructions said to activate them in water. I used less than a gallon for each one. Sorry I cannot be of more help.

I do not think so. It is suggested to change them once a year. It had been about 5 years before I purchased news ones. I just keep cleaning them till they where not cleanable anymore

You can re-use them, but they do not collapse back down. Once they are wet they stay as they are in my experience.

Yes, they can be resharpened; the problem is to find a place that offers that service. Good luck!

Short answer - yes. However, if you try to use them after they have reached their "protected" level of discharge, you can get them to discharge so low they will not recharge.

No, I'm afraid you can't. The method of constructing these devices does allow them to be reloaded. Fortunately they are inexpensive enough to allow purchase of more than one unit.

They are completely re-useable, but you should soak them in soapy water after using so the grounds don't get stuck in the filter.

Yes. They are tamper-evident. They can be reused but the tamper action only works once.

Yes that is how you basically "recharge" them and it does work just place them outside or anywhere in direct sunlight for an hour or more if you want and then they will be ready to use again. Also the smell of whatever you used them for should be gone. I use mines in my running shoes and after I recharge them they don't smell anymore and go right back into my running shoes again. I hope this answered your question!!

As far as I know you can. There are kits you can buy and or have a vendor that specializes in doing that. They test the cartridge then load it then test it again. I only bought some refilled units back several years ago but I have not for quite awhile. Wish you the best.

My package was not resealable. My experience with this kind of foam rooting plug (but not Rapid Rooter per se) is that if they dry out, they cannot easily be re hydrated so I am careful to keep these moist in an airtight container.

I haven't reused mine at this point. In my opinion, I believe that once emptied, I could clean them and reuse.

Yes. They are touch activated and will "turn off" after a minute or so of no activity.

I don't believe they are refillable. They appear to be a one piece construction. So far they are working well.

In a word, yes. Puree tutorial at the following link, if you need it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n6PH6KZ83Lw
