DRYZONE literally transforms a boat's living environment so it becomes as dry and comfortable as home. The system uses patented technology to first remove, and then maintain, the air moisture content inside a boat to whatever humidity setting is desired. Dryzone works regardless of the surrounding temperature and climate, and is designed to run continuously using very low power consumption.

The minute you step on board a Dryzone-equipped boat, you're struck by the fresh, healthy air and lack of any trace of condensation. Nothing in the boat is damp, including bedding, cushions, clothing, food, tissues and books.

Dryzone not only delivers immediate and lasting comfort as the problems of pervasive moisture are eliminated, it also delivers enormous value over time by protecting all of the boat's expensive furnishings, electronics and woodwork. And because it actually improves indoor air quality, Dryzone mitigates the negative health effects of trapped moisture from humid interior air.

Obvious and hidden problems of interior moisture

Interior moisture causes a range of problems inside boats. Most noticeable are the lifestyle inconveniences that boat owners live with daily, including condensation, fogged windows, musty environment and odor, clammy fabrics, soggy crackers, curled paperbacks, even damp toilet paper.

But interior humidity causes many more serious and costly problems, both short and long term. These include:

• damage to furnishings and wooden structures
• compromised electronics
• corroded metal surfaces
• mold, mildew, and rot from moisture trapped inside the bulk volume of the living space, such as in carpets and upholstery.

Health impacts

In addition to causing property damage, internal humidity is unhealthy. Boat owners are continuously exposed to the spores of mold, mildew and other fungi and bacteria when moisture from the air is absorbed and trapped in a host of "substrates" inside a boat, like fabrics, flooring, bedding, shoes and other materials.

Dryzone mitigates these health hazards because common molds and mildews can't grow when interior humidity levels are kept below 55%, so these airborne pollutants are eliminated.

There is also evidence that medications and medical devices can be compromised by constant exposure to high humidity levels, reducing their effectiveness. Dryzone eliminates this possibility by keeping the boat's interior air dry.

The websites below can be used to obtain average humidity data for your location. If the average humidity for the year or a portion of the year is above 50%, you will benefit from the comfort and safety of a Dryzone system.
