1. krequentiyyAsked Questions I have been using DampRid for years and this has never happened before Why are the white crystals hard The white crystals are calcium chloride which is a non toxic inorganic salt product As with all salt based products as they begin to absorb moisture they harden The DampRid is acting like a moisture magnet pulling the moisture from the air and trapping it in the lower chamber of the product Also the round crystals have more surface area than the white flake we used before Because the crystals can solidify they will last longer Please do not break up the crystals as it is no longer necessary Why are ice crystals in the lower chamber of the product Sometimes this is caused by a sudden change in temperature Other times it may be caused by a change in humidity If you are having problems getting rid of the crystals in the lower chamber of the container simply run water over the ice crystal until the ice formation dissolves My DampRid product is changing color is there something wrong No There is nothing wrong with the DampRid product you purchased or your home The discoloration is caused by trace mineral deposits that are found in calcium chloride If no moisture is present in the bottom container does this mean something is wrong with my DampRid container If the white crystals are hard it is probably ready to release the absorbed moisture into the bottom container Please be patient Eventuall2. y the moisture will sweat into the bottom chamber of the product This will take up to two months sometimes longer depending on how much moisture is in the air What does this mean avoid metal amp leather on the container DampRid is a salt product If the absorbed moisture comes in physical contact with metal for a long period of time it will corrode If the absorbed liquid comes in physical contact with the leather it will absorb the moisture in the leather leaving it hard and wrinkled How do I dispose of the crystals and or the absorbed moisture The crystals are water soluble To dispose of the absorbed moisture simply flush the absorbed moisture down the toilet How many DampRid containers should I use This depends upon how much moisture is present and this can vary by location Since the presence of musty odors indicates a moisture problem we suggest you use one DampRid unit per 100 square feet If the white crystals are completely gone before a three week period add another unit What do I do if I accidentally spill some of the collected liquid It is recommended to use a wet dry vacuum or towel to remove as much of the liquid as you can Continue to pour regular tap water onto the spill to dilute the concentration of the liquid If you do not dilute or clean the spot the spilled liquid will continue to absorb excess moisture and the spot may get larger Guide to Indoor Air Protection
