Invented in 1997 by Charles Cressy, President of Water Out Drying Corp; the process was granted a patent in 2003. This revolutionary drying process improves on conventional dehumidification processes in many ways. The most important improvement is time. The sooner a flooded residence can be dried the greater the benefit to the property owner and insurer. Most residential contents will not be ruined by the effects of water, providing they are quickly dried. Valuable time, contents and costly reconstruction can be saved using Water Out. The likelihood of mold growth is greatly reduced with rapid drying.
Water Out Has Been Tested
Independent tests conducted in the US and England prove that Water Out will dry flooded buildings much faster than refrigerants and desiccant dehumidifiers. Since 1997 over four thousand buildings of every size and construction have been dried using Water Out equipment. A single Water Out trailer will remove 100 pounds of water per hour and use a fraction of the electricity required for either refrigerants or desiccant dehumidifiers. One Water Out trailer uses 115 volts at 9-14 amps, about the power consumption of a typical household appliance. A desiccant dehumidifier with the capacity of a Water Out trailer would need 3 phase power and a huge amp draw. With desiccant dehumidifiers a large diesel generator is required in nearly every situation.
A Water Out trailer can be easily transported, set up, and operated by a single trained technician.
Open Drying or Closed Dehumidification
The greatest benefit to using Water Out is the final product. Water Out uses fresh outside air as the drying source. The outside air is conditioned within the Water Out trailer and introduced into a flooded building at about 2% RH (relative humidity). This super-dry air is circulated through a flooded building and then exhausted to the outside. This "open drying" concept leaves a clean, dry building in only a few days. Refrigerant and desiccant dehumidifiers are "closed systems." A "closed" dehumidification system recycles the same indoor air over and over and allows unpleasant odors and mold spores to build up. Closed dehumidification systems can spread contaminated air throughout a building and transfer biological contaminants from one job to the next. Drying with fresh outside air or recirculating contaminated air, the choice seems clear; Water Out wins hands down.
Water Out is quiet too! Inaudible from more than twenty feet Water Out will not disturb neighbors.
