Hi chaps. Can anyone recommend a dehumidifier for a boat that doesn't need power? I had a plastic tub that used blocks of crystals to achieve reasonable effect, but Nauticalia seem to have stopped stocking refills.

Boat is a 50' narrowboat, cabin about 35' long.

Cheers

Tom,

Google crystal dehumidifier refill - you can get the stuff everywhere. Even John Lewis http://www.johnlewis.com/217442/Product.aspx

B&Q sell the 'pot noodle' type - about £7. There's a big chunk of 'stuff' in the top that gradually sucks water from the air and it collects in the pot underneath. Works very well.

Couple of bags of cement, they seem to aborb moisture brilliantly, just turf overboard once rock solid

The one I had used brick sized lumps of stuff sitting on a grate above a collecting pot. I'll try the b&q suggestion though.
