DampRid crystals work immediately to absorb excess moisture from the air. The crystals harden and form a solid mass. Then they begin to dissolve and liquid will begin to drip into the bottom chamber. It may take a few days/weeks before liquid begins to drip depending on the humidity and temperature.
DampRid Moisture Absorbers work in three phases:
It may take a few days before liquid begins to drip. Accumulated moisture will drip into the bottom chamber, and about half to three-quarters of the crystals will dissolve. All of the DampRid crystals will dissolve and the bottom chamber will be full of liquid.
It absorbs excess moisture in the air that can cause stale, musty odors. The moisture in the air is absorbed by the calcium chloride crystals and stored in the lower portion of the plastic container. The crystals normally will last for up to 45-days, depending on temperature and humidity levels.
Why don't I see liquid in the bottom chamber immediately? The crystals begin to absorb moisture from the air immediately. The moisture is kept in the crystals inside the pouch and eventually will drip into bottom which can take a few days or even a week.
When refillable DampRid products are full of water, just pour the liquid out and refill with more of our all-natural crystals, for disposable products, simply discard it when the crystals are gone.
