How long does each refill last - or does it depend on how much moisture is in the air for the room you use it?

Hello from Baltimore. We bought this system months ago when our basement was really damp. I still have more than half a bag of the crystals left and there isn't a trace of dampness left in our basement. It is somewhat dependent on how much moisture is in the room if you can't keep it reasonably monitored (say every two days). However, if you keep watch and pour out the water every other day or so it should last for quite some time. Just to give a little better perspective, we have a big house with a full cellar. It works wonders for us. Hope I've helped.

Hello-on average I put a new refill every 3mo. I keep damp rid in my basement which can get humid when it rains. This thing keeps mildew from growing. It works! Good luck!

Depends on the amount of moisture. I use them in a gun cabinet in a damp area. One refill probably lasts about a month and a half.

I cut the refills and keep going. The refills do last about 2 months depending on how much you clean the box. It really isn't worth it to buy the refills though because you can just use trash bags. They work just as well.

It depend on the setting and humidity in your room at #1 about 48 hrs at #2, 24 hrs and #3 15to 20 hrs

The pads last a really long time. I generally toss mine after they start looking grungy. You can buy refills at a few places. You won't need many.

It lasts quite a while. Obviously it depends in how long you're holding down the trigger but I can do an entire bathroom or my entire kitchen without ever refilling and I have a 5000 sq ft house so my rooms aren't small. I've never once have been cleaning and had to stop to refill. I've even deep cleaned my oven interior and stove top burners with it and not had to refill.

It depend on how much and where your drying at ( room,box,jar,bag,plate) but usually about 24 hour

Hi Andrew, I had the same problem. I live in Louisiana, the land of high humidity. I ran a fan in the room and it really took about a week to actually dry. I have done 2 bathrooms and my kitchen. This was the first bathroom I did. Never happened again. My advice is just be patient and give it time.

I just purchased this unit about 2 months ago and I haven't had to empty it once! I opened it up last night to check again and not 1 drop. I leave it on 67 almost all day long! Some runs have been over 24 hours and not a drop. I live in southern California and I have a friend with this unit in Arizona and he said he has to empty his about once a month so it probably depends on the humidity.

Depends on the size of the room and what your starting humidity point is. I think that is probably achievable. A couple things to consider are the more humid you want the higher the fan settings needs to be which gets progressively louder. Second is you likely will need to refill it with water 1-2 times a day depending on how dry your area is and how sealed your humidifier is / how often the door is opened. You might want to consider a model with a larger reservoir. Also you will need to replace the filter/wick every 2-3 months especially if you have hard water. Overall I think this would probably do the job. Hope this helps. P.S. Try the Hemingway Short Story cigars! Depends on the size of the room and what your starting humidity point is.

If they are not unsealed they will last probably forever but after they are in the printer I am sure they tend to dry out as any liquid does when exposed to the air. So far my ink has lasted an average length of time and I am in the dry air of Tucson, AZ. Probably depends on your location to determine the speed of drying time.

It really depends on the temperature and how dry it is and how often you want to refill. In medium large pots in Austin, I use one per pot and refill once a week.

Im not sure but it lasts for enough time to do at least three rooms fully. I LOVE this machine!

I imagine it lasts for a long time if it's sealed, but if opened then it will slowly evaporate and gum up if not used. Try a damp paper towel-wipe the ink cartridge on it then put back in machine, it works at my office.

How long it lasts depends on how much moisture. I keep one in my car because I have a leak in my car and it rains a lot where I leave. Nice and dry inside until used up. About 4 months in the winter. You know it is used up when there aren't any more loose crystals. Pick up the tub and turn it sideways. If no movement in the bottom of the tub, replace it.

It depends on the airflow in the room, but I have had mine in a probably slightly above average airflow room for about a month and a half and it is about 3/4 gone and I noticed it is not quite as effective so I just ordered a refill and refilled it. But up until a few days ago it has been working great. I have one in a lower airflow room and it is still about 3/4 full. I really like this product.

The larger the room volume, the more time it takes to cycle the air. I have a 20X20X10 room which takes approximately an hour to freshen.

Carole, I think the longest I tested mine was 2 weeks, but I live in a very dry region. I filled fairly substantial receptacles and covered them with foil to slow evaporation. I will be using them for a couple of weeks again now, but I have a friend coming to check on plants as a back up. I know this doesn't help much. A lot depends on house temps and humidity...as Irene mentions.
