Eva-dry E-333 Renewable dehumidifier, Pack of 1, White Sand

Product Information

The average compressor based dehumidifier removes 30 to 70 pints (approximately 500 to 1000+ ounces) of moisture per day. The average thermo-electric dehumidifier removes about 10 ounces of moisture per day. Full size desiccant dehumidifiers remove about 20 pints (approximately 300 ounces) of moisture per day. The E-333 and similar devices should therefore only be used for extremely mild humidity problems in extremely small spaces. The E-333 has a moisture removal capacity of 4 to 6 ounces. Eva-Dry states that the E-333 will reach this capacity after 2 to 4 weeks of use, depending on the conditions of the space that the unit is dehumidifying. In more humid and warmer conditions you can expect the E-333 to reach capacity more frequently (once every 2 weeks or so) while in less humid colder conditions you can expect it to reach capacity less frequently (once every 4 weeks). Note that even in the most humid, warmest conditions this unit will not reach capacity until a few weeks have passed.

Avoid recharging your dehumidifier for shorter hours as the silica gel beads will not dry well and you will not get maximum performance from the dehumidifier. Safety There are several ways that you can tell if your Eva-dry dehumidifier is working. First, you can assess the humidity levels in your home before by using a hygrometer. A hygrometer is a device that measures the amount of moisture or vapor in the air, confined spaces, or soil. Different Eva-dry dehumidifiers have varying charging durations. For instance, when using the Eva-dry E-333, it takes approximately 10 to 12 hours to recharge the dehumidifier after the silica gel beads are fully saturated and have turned green. If you are looking for a dehumidifier for a large home, this might not be a great option as it is suitable for rooms of up to 500 cubic feet. Score Based on Humidifier Inspired Review The Eva-dry E-500 has an oval shape. Its shape and design reduce the risks of spillage of the silica gel beads (desiccants) in the dehumidifier. It has a small compact design, which also makes it suitable for both small spaces and relatively large rooms.View beads in the indicator window of the unit. If the indicator beads are orange, the unit is ready to use. If the indicator beads are green, the unit needs to be renewed. (See step 5)

The E-500 isn’t the only low cost rechargeable mini desiccant dehumidifier manufactured by Eva-Dry. The E-333 is similarly priced (it’s actually a bit cheaper) and works exactly the same way. It also dehumidifies by adsorption and it also contains the same silica gel. Like the E-500 it has an “indicator window” that will indicate when the device needs to be recharged. The crystals (of silica gel) in the indicator window will change color over the course of several weeks as the device dehumidifies. When the desiccant is completely unsaturated the color of the crystals in the indicator window will be blue. When the desiccant reaches 100% saturation the color of the crystals will turn pink – this indicates that it’s time to plug in the device for it to recharge. To put this type of square footage in perspective imagine two different rooms, one that’s 333 square feet and another that’s 500 square feet. Our example 333 square foot space is 33 feet long and 11 feet wide. Our example 500 square foot space is 25 feet long and 20 feet wide. These are sizable spaces. As we discussed above, Eva-Dry recommends the E-333 and E-500 for small spaces such as closets, pantries, small bathrooms, etc. Do any of these spaces have anywhere close to the dimensions of 33 by 11 ft or 25 by 20 ft? The answer is no. Thus even Eva-Dry themselves don’t recommend these products for any type of space with the same dimensions as their specified area of coverage of 333 or 500 square feet. Why then does the manufacturer attach these large overblown square footage numbers to what they themselves call mini dehumidifiers? Monitor indicator beads roughly once a month (4-6 weeks) for color transition from orange to green.AnswerTake a Q tip with rubbing alcohol and wipe down the vents in front of the unit. Put 1/3 bleach and 2/3 water in tank every 3 months to keep the tank clean. The lid cannot be removed from tank. The lid keeps the floatation device in place to shut off the unit when the tank is full.

The main downside of buying this dehumidifier is that it requires a longer charging time, which can be frustrating if you are about to leave your home and you have not recharged it yet. The E-500 Eva-dry dehumidifier removes approximately 6 to 8 ounces of moisture from the air every 4 to 8 weeks. It has a higher moisture removal capacity than its counterpart the Eva-dry E-333, which removes about 4 to 6 ounces of moisture from the air after every 2 to 4 weeks. While we do like that the unit is incredibly small, especially with how much area it can cover, we wish the design was simpler and more attractive. On the plus side, since it is so compact, it can easily be hidden and out of sight. If you are considering buying this dehumidifier, this article will also offer you great insights about how to operate your dehumidifier when you finally get it and how to clean and maintain it. Summary of The FeaturesCompare the E-333′s moisture removal rate of 4 to 6 ounces per 2 to 4 weeks to that of its primary competitor, the Eva-Dry E-500, which removes 6 to 8 ounces of moisture per 4 to 8 weeks. Thus, the E-500 removes about 50% more moisture than the E-333 but takes 100% as long to do so. So, the E-333 removes less moisture per recharge but removes moisture faster than the E-500. Note that despite the fact that the E-333 removes moisture faster than the E-500, it remove moisture slower than almost every other type of dehumidifier we’ve tested and reviewed. The silica gel beads get recharged through an electric dehydration process. If you develop the habit of leaving your dehumidifier plugged in for long hours, the plastic material might warp over time. It would also not be a suitable option for drying your laundry indoors. Aside from tiny spaces, you can use this dehumidifier in a mildly humid room or remove unpleasant odors from the air. Silica Gel Beads Technology Another approach is observing the color change of the crystal beads (silica gel beads) in your dehumidifier. The Eva-dry dehumidifier has an indicator window that you can use to assess the changes in the silica gel beads. AnswerEva-Dry uses non-toxic desiccants in its renewable units. This desiccant is a natural substance that will always absorb moisture. After several years the desiccant beads will absorb less moisture. The units last roughly 10 years before needing to be replaced, but as long as the heat source in the unit works, the beads will continue to absorb moisture and the heater inside will allow the beads to expel the moisture absorbed. The renewable units are also covered by a 5-year warranty.

Update: Contrary to the statements we make below, the manufacturer does not give the “area of coverage” for either the E-333 or the E-500 in terms of square footage. Instead, it is given in terms of cubic feet – a volume. Thus, much of the discussion below in which we incorrectly refer to the E-333′s area of coverage as 333 square feet and the E-500′s area of coverage as 500 square feet does not apply. The E-333′s actual area of coverage is 333 cubic feet and the E-500′s actual area of coverage is 500 cubic feet. Note: Our comments regarding the unit’s moisture removal rate, its value, and situations in which we recommend its use still apply. The Eva-dry E-333 mini dehumidifier is an environment-friendly dehumidifier that uses silica gel technology to absorb moisture from your surroundings.

AnswerA humidifier adds moisture to the air. It is commonly used when someone is ill or during the winter months. Cooler climates can cause humidity levels to drop and the heat you use in your home can drop humidity levels even further, resulting in dry skin, chapped lips, and your hair feeling brittle. You might see condensation accumulate in the indicator window during the renewing process. This is normal.
