This model has a total capacity of 36 ounces, designed to absorb and hold a significant amount of moisture before requiring the collected water to be emptied.
How often do I need to empty the collected water?
The frequency of emptying the collected water depends on the ambient humidity levels and the size of the enclosed space. In humid conditions, it may need emptying every few weeks; in drier environments, the interval can be longer. Monitor the water level in the container regularly.

Can Star brite No Damp Moisture Absorber & Dehumidifier be used around fabrics and wood?
