Question: I bought a couple of these.  Is it normal for them to look like they are slowly filling up with wood chips and not water?
Document: Was expecting the calcium chloride crystals to be loose, but when I opened up the tub, they already seemed to be quite hard. I am not sure if this is normal for the product, but am thinking it indicates that they may already have absorbed some water prior to delivery? Using this in an SUV to remove excess moisture, and too early to tell if it is really doing its job or not. Will give it another month or two before rendering final judgment.
I bought this for my boat. In the winter it collects a LOT of condensation and it just soaks the rug walls and the wood boarding in the front and other little areas that do not hold in the heat. I put this in each area, and the rug is so dry, and the wood boards are also completely dry. The moisture is just gone! I bought this large one, plus the small buckets as well, they work the same just some last longer. I totally recommend this product!
My bathroom doesn't have a vent for the humidity to escape so it gets pretty moist in there. I bought this and stuck it behind the toilet. Within a week you could tell a huge difference. I've had this a while and finally dumped it out, it was all water. The little beads absorb the moisture and kind of melt away before you dispose them.
I bought this when my dehumidifier died, thinking that this might be a good way to keep the dampness away from the books in my basement without having the noise of the dehumidifier.Meh. I've had it for a few months, and while there is definitely water, the humidity is not as low as when the dehumidifier was in the room. Needless to say I will have to purchase a new dehumidifier.
DampRid helped extremely well in the drying process. I will still have to paint over the water stains, but I'm confident they aren't wet. )A couple of novice recommendations. I have no scientific proof that these suggestions work, but I believe they were true for me:1. If using DampRid in your car, check the &#34;vent/circ&#34; button. While you're driving, you may have your vehicle set for fresh air ventilation, and that's fine.
The plastic container is distorded, it seem like the granules inside are dark, and the date on it is August 2013. I do not know if it is the date it was put on the market or the expiration date. I do not like it because it seems like it has started taking care of other humid environments. Wish it could be replaced or  price reduced accordingly. Also bought the Damprid FG 60 refillable and the Damprid refill, and those came in perfect condition.
Worked FANTASTIC in my basement. I used these plus an ionizer in my basement. My basement is now like any other room in a house. Smells fine, not damp, and is clean. 22 years never water in my basement until Culligan disconnected my sump pump when they installed their leaking water softner. While I was saying goodbye to my mom (she died) my basement was flooded! I didn't think we would EVER get it better but this product combined with a heater and ionizer did a tremendous job!
it works! was surprise lol. nd it lasted like a month nd maybe a week or so. the water actually turned to ice i was surprise cuz it never said that!
So if you're looking to use this to make a slightly humid room more comfortable, you may want to look elsewhere.
Since the rear floor mats felt damp I figured the car just had an inordinate amount of moisture in it. So my solution was to buy a 4 lb. tub of Damprid. I took off the lid and set it on the floor of the back seat and not four days later everything was back to normal.
Answer: No
