Designed to support natural airflow, it helps reduce condensation and mould by continuously allowing fresh air to circulate and stale, humid air to escape. Its adjustable iris shutter lets residents control ventilation levels to their preference whether fully open for maximum airflow or closed during colder weather. Operating silently with no moving parts or power supply, it offers reliable, always-on background ventilation in living areas, bedrooms, or any room that needs consistent air exchange. Installation is quick and tidy thanks to the telescopic ducting, which fits walls up to 500 mm thick. The unit requires no electrical connection and is suitable for external walls positioned near the ceiling, blending seamlessly into any interior with its understated white finish.

The Dryzone Telescopic Passive Vent is for homeowners seeking a simple, maintenance-free solution to improve indoor air quality and combat condensation and mould. Its key benefit is supporting continuous natural airflow to allow fresh air in and stale, humid air out, without noise or electricity. A potential caveat is its passive nature, meaning it relies solely on natural pressure differences for ventilation. This unit features an adjustable iris shutter for airflow control, silent operation, and telescopic ducting for easy installation in walls up to 500 mm thick.

FAQs
How does the passive vent work without electricity?
The vent utilizes natural pressure differences between indoor and outdoor air, along with temperature variations, to create a gentle airflow that exchanges stale air for fresh air.
What is the maximum wall thickness this vent can accommodate?
The telescopic ducting is designed to fit walls up to 500 mm thick.
How often should I clean the filter?
It is recommended to clean the filter monthly, or more frequently if you notice a significant reduction in airflow or a buildup of dust.
Can I install this vent myself?
Yes, the kit includes all necessary components for installation, and the telescopic ducting simplifies the process for walls up to 500 mm thick. Basic DIY skills are required.
Will this vent stop all condensation?
The vent significantly helps reduce condensation by improving air circulation. However, it may not eliminate all condensation if internal moisture levels are extremely high or if there are other contributing factors.
What is the warranty period?
The Dryzone Telescopic Passive Vent comes with a five-year warranty.
Troubleshooting
Low airflow
Ensure the iris shutter is fully open. Check if the internal filter is clean and not blocked. Verify there are no obstructions on the exterior hood.
Condensation still present
While the vent improves air quality, significant condensation may indicate a need for additional ventilation or a reduction in internal moisture sources. Ensure the vent is correctly installed and the filter is clean.
Difficulty adjusting shutter
Gently rotate the shutter. If it feels stiff, check for any debris that might be obstructing its movement.
