Product Information

Full details

The Autochem Kontrol Moisture Damp Trap is an essential solution for homeowners, vehicle owners, and storage users looking to protect their possessions from the damaging effects of excess humidity. Its primary benefit lies in its ability to actively pull moisture from the air to prevent mold, mildew, and stale odors in confined spaces without the need for electricity. However, users should note that this is a consumable product that requires periodic disposal and replacement once the crystals have fully dissolved, making it best suited for passive, long-term environmental control rather than high-speed dehumidification.

FAQs

How long does one unit last?

Longevity depends on the humidity levels of the environment; however, typical performance lasts until the desiccant crystals have fully liquefied.

Is the liquid inside the trap toxic?

The liquid is a concentrated moisture solution. Avoid skin contact and keep out of reach of children and pets.

Can I use this in my car?

Yes, the compact 100g size is ideal for placing in glove boxes, center consoles, or trunks.

Do I need to refill the crystals?

No, the Autochem Kontrol Moisture Damp Trap is a single-use, disposable product.

How do I know when to replace it?

When the crystals have disappeared and the reservoir is filled with liquid, it is time to discard the old unit and replace it with a fresh one.

Does it require electricity?

No, this is a passive device that functions using chemical desiccant technology.

Troubleshooting

The unit is not collecting water.

Ensure the area is sufficiently enclosed. If the space is too large or ventilated, the moisture levels may not be high enough for the crystals to trigger.

The trap is leaking.

Check the casing for cracks or punctures. If damaged, dispose of the unit immediately and replace it to prevent chemical spillage.

  • Effectively neutralizes musty odors

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To begin using the Autochem Kontrol Moisture Damp Trap, simply remove the outer packaging and place the unit in your desired location. Ensure the area is confined, as the trap is most efficient in smaller spaces. Once the internal crystals have fully dissolved and the container has filled with the collected liquid, the entire unit should be disposed of according to local waste regulations. Keep the device away from children and pets, and avoid placing it directly on delicate furniture surfaces to prevent potential water damage if the container is punctured or tipped over.
