Dehumidifier

Chemical dehumidifiers offer a practical and economical solution to combat moisture aboard your boat. Unlike electric models, their energy independence makes them perfect for winter lay-up or boats used sporadically. Excess moisture creates an environment conducive to mold, rust, and bad odors, compromising fabrics, electronic components, and metal parts.

How do they work?

These dehumidifiers utilize the hygroscopic properties of salts like calcium chloride to capture moisture from the air. The absorbed water accumulates in a dedicated container, which must be emptied regularly. Rechargeable models allow you to replace only the salt cartridge, reducing long-term costs and minimizing environmental impact.

Where to place them?

Place dehumidifiers in the most vulnerable areas: cabins, lockers, engine rooms, and areas with limited ventilation. Periodically monitor the water level in the container and recharge the dehumidifier when necessary. A dry environment translates into a healthier boat with a longer lifespan.

Protect your boat even in winter

During winter storage, humidity can inflict significant damage. For complete protection, use chemical dehumidifiers in synergy with a breathable boat cover, ensuring an effective barrier against the elements.

Choose the right dehumidifier for your boat

The choice of the ideal dehumidifier depends on the size of the area to be protected and the level of humidity present. Nautica Basile offers a selection of chemical dehumidifiers, suitable for every need and budget. Consider the absorption capacity, container size, and ease of recharging to find the product that best suits your needs.

How long does a chemical dehumidifier last?

The lifespan of a chemical dehumidifier varies depending on the size of the environment and the humidity level. Typically, a refill can last from 1 to 3 months. It is advisable to regularly check the water level in the container and replace the refill when necessary to ensure effective dehumidification.

Can I use a chemical dehumidifier in a small locker?

Absolutely yes. Dehumidifiers are available in various sizes, designed to fit even small spaces such as lockers and cabinets. It is important to select a model with dimensions appropriate to the volume of the locker to maximize the effectiveness of the dehumidifier.

Are chemical dehumidifiers harmful to the environment?

Chemical dehumidifiers use non-toxic hygroscopic salts. However, it is essential to dispose of the collected water correctly, as it may contain traces of mold and bacteria. It is recommended not to pour the water into household drains or directly into the sea, but to dispose of it appropriately.

How can I tell if the dehumidifier is working properly?

A key indicator of the effectiveness of the dehumidifier is the amount of water collected in the container. If the water level increases regularly, it means that the dehumidifier is absorbing moisture from the environment. In addition, you can monitor the humidity level in the air using a hygrometer to check if the dehumidifier is helping to reduce humidity.

What to do if the dehumidifier is not collecting water?

If the dehumidifier is not collecting water, it may be necessary to replace the hygroscopic salt refill. Make sure the refill is still effective and not saturated with moisture. Also, check that the dehumidifier is placed in an area with high relative humidity to ensure effective dehumidification.
