Product Information
Full details
The Status Moisture Trap Refillable Dehumidifier is designed for households needing a simple, effective way to combat dampness and excess moisture in enclosed spaces up to 15m². Its key benefit is silent, electricity-free operation for continuous moisture absorption. A potential caveat is its limited capacity per fill, requiring periodic emptying. This refillable unit is ideal for long-term damp control in areas like wardrobes, cupboards, caravans, and boats, preventing issues such as mould, mildew, and condensation.

FAQs
How often do I need to empty the water reservoir?
This depends on the humidity levels in the space. Check the reservoir periodically. It can hold up to 1 litre of water before needing to be emptied. In very humid conditions, this may be more frequent.
How long do the moisture-absorbing crystals last?
The lifespan of the crystals depends on the amount of moisture they absorb. Once they are saturated (appear wet or liquid), they need to be replaced with fresh crystals.
Can I use this in a large room?
The Status Moisture Trap is designed for small, enclosed spaces up to 15 square meters. It is not intended for large rooms and its effectiveness will be significantly reduced.
Does it make any noise?
No, the unit operates silently as it does not require electricity or any moving parts.
What happens if the unit tips over?
If the unit tips over, the collected water may spill. Ensure it is placed on a stable, level surface and secure it if necessary, especially in environments like caravans or boats.
Where can I buy refill bags?
Refill bags are typically available from the same retailers that sell the Status Moisture Trap unit.
Do I need to plug this in?
No, the unit does not require any power source. It works passively by absorbing moisture from the air.
Troubleshooting
No moisture is being absorbed.
Ensure the unit is placed in a sufficiently small and enclosed space (up to 15m²). Verify that the crystals are fresh and not already saturated. Check that the unit is correctly assembled and sealed.
The unit is leaking.
Ensure the unit is placed on a stable, level surface. Check that the reservoir is not overfilled and that the unit is properly sealed after emptying and refilling.
Crystals are not absorbing effectively.
The crystals may be saturated. Replace them with fresh Status moisture-absorbing crystals. Ensure the ambient humidity is high enough for absorption to occur.
Unit appears damaged.
Inspect the unit for cracks or breaks. If damaged, do not use and consider replacing the unit. Contact customer support if within warranty.
