Star brite Moisture Absorber & Dehumidifier, 36 oz Bucket

The Star brite Moisture Absorber & Dehumidifier removes excess humidity from the air to prevent musty odors, stains, and corrosion. It is designed for stored boats, RVs, seasonal homes, and other enclosed spaces where dampness builds up over time. The portable unit operates without power, so it can be placed anywhere moisture control is needed without an outlet or battery.

Inside the unit, specially formulated crystals draw moisture from the surrounding air and deposit the absorbed liquid safely into the attached bucket, which is designed to hold the collected moisture without overflowing. This 36 ounce bucket size is built to cover approximately 100 square feet, making it suited to larger enclosed areas such as basements, salons, engine rooms, and seasonal homes rather than small closets alone. The bucket is refillable and reusable: once it fills with water, simply empty it, and when the moisture-absorbing pellets run low, add more on top of the existing product.

Constructed of black plastic, the unit runs in continuous operation mode and is not power-dependent, requiring no electricity, batteries, or maintenance beyond periodic emptying and refilling. It comes complete with the bucket, lid, and moisture absorber pellets, ready to use out of the box.
