Product Information
Full details
The Prem-i-Air Silent Moisture Absorber is designed for anyone struggling with damp, condensation, or musty odours in enclosed spaces like wardrobes, bathrooms, caravans, or sheds. Its primary benefit is its silent, maintenance-free operation using a powerful 525g Calcium Chloride block to actively draw moisture from the air. A key caveat is that the collected water requires periodic disposal and the block needs eventual replacement.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
How long does the 525g block last?
The lifespan of the Calcium Chloride block varies depending on the humidity levels in the environment. In very humid conditions, it may last a few weeks, while in less humid areas, it can last several months.
Do I need to plug this into an electrical outlet?
No, the Prem-i-Air Silent Moisture Absorber operates passively using the Calcium Chloride block and does not require any electricity or batteries.
Can I use this in a large room?
This product is most effective in small, enclosed spaces. For larger rooms, multiple units or a powered dehumidifier would be more appropriate.
What happens to the collected water?
The water collected is simply condensed moisture from the air. It can be poured down a drain. Be careful not to spill during disposal.
How do I know when to replace the absorber?
You will know it's time to replace the unit when the Calcium Chloride block has completely dissolved and no longer absorbs moisture, and consequently, no water collects in the chamber.
Is it safe to use around pets?
The unit is generally safe when used as directed. However, it's best to place it out of reach of pets to prevent them from tipping it over or attempting to ingest the contents.
Troubleshooting
No water collecting in the chamber
Ensure the unit is placed in a humid environment and that the vents are not blocked. Check if the Calcium Chloride block is still intact. If the block has fully dissolved, it's time for a replacement.
Unit is leaking
Ensure the unit is placed on a level surface and is not tilted. Be careful when emptying the collected water to avoid spills. Check the unit for any cracks or damage.
Musty odor persists
While the absorber helps with odors, severe mold or mildew may require deeper cleaning. Ensure adequate airflow around the unit. The block may need replacing if it's old or saturated.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Carefully remove the moisture absorber from its packaging.
- Place the unit on a stable, level surface in the desired location.
- Ensure the 360° vents are unobstructed for optimal airflow.
Compatibility:
- This product is designed for enclosed spaces such as wardrobes, drawers, bathrooms, bedrooms, caravans, sheds, and storage units.
- It is not suitable for large, open-plan rooms or areas with significant air circulation.
Care:
- Emptying: Periodically check the water collection chamber. When full, carefully tilt the unit to pour out the collected water. Avoid spilling.
- Replacement: The 525g Calcium Chloride block will eventually dissolve and become saturated. When the block has fully dissolved and no longer appears to be absorbing moisture, it is time to replace the unit. Dispose of the old unit responsibly.
- Cleaning: Wipe the exterior of the unit with a dry or slightly damp cloth if necessary. Do not use harsh chemicals or immerse in water.
