Use a Dehumidifier?

Always possible that any electrical item will catch fire, just as any boat will possibly catch fire. Dehumidifiers are basically a modified fridge, some fridges have caught fire over the years. Life is a game of odds.

Very sad for the owners of course, and hopefully nobody was injured.

Depending on your needs, try getting one or more of these.

 

We've got one on board in the shower room & its great, no leccy to worry about, cheap to buy & a fiver for a pair of refills. You can also get them at Wilko & Robert Dyas.

 

Not every piece of equipment on board needs to be powered.

Well, whatever the unviewable sealine forum says, the advice at the end of the original article from the fire and rescue service is not to leave appliances unattended. Shouldn't be too difficult to work out how not to have it happen to any of us then, eh?

I have one in my bedroom, even better now that they do a scented version, think it was from B&M for a two pack.

We use these, we have two on board, they are well worth it, but make sure you shut all of the doors and windows or you will be attempting to dehumidify the planet!

It looks like the model that B&Q did a safety recall on last year...?

 

Dehumidifiers......they have a freezer and a heater...and you need to keep doors and windows closed as they 'drop' the humidity around them...

 

I used to hire them out...both domestic and industrial.

 

Turn them on...they go into a 'cycle'. The freezer turns on...and the fan draws air across the cooled elements...with the water in the air...then turning to ice. After a period (usually around 2 hours)..the freezer turns off...and a heater is turned on. The water thaws and flows into the tank. After a while...this repeats.

 

Not all that magic really.
