Why is my DampRid “Mushy”?
The calcium chloride may at times feel “mushy” before it drains because the weight of the liquid at the point of dispersement could not immediately overcome the center crease (in the hanging bags) or just at the drain slits (in the refillable container). (In the hanging bag) This is caused by the bag folding process during packaging. When the bag absorbs more moisture, the weight of the liquid should be enough to open the drainage point on its own. (In the refillable container), this may be caused by the hardened crystal formation that occurs occasionally due to humidity/temperature changes. This may cause the drain slits to become temporarily blocked. Allowing the product to continue absorbing without disturbance will allow the crystal formation to dissolve and allow proper drain flow. Thus the calcium chloride will harden and dissolve as usual.
