Hi,

My unit appears to have gone belly up as no water seen in the tank - thought it a bit odd as last couple of visits O/B there was no evidence of water in the drain line to the sink.
I thought it was because the air was dryish :-(

Question - any tips on best place to source a replacement?

Thanks
 
I have a spare one, made by XM, quite new. I bought it for the Princess, then found the air con has a dehumidify function, so I don't need the clutter of a seperate unit on board.

Problem is its in France, but if you can find a way to get it back, its yours, as its going in the skip otherwise.
 
If you want a proper one that will last, get an Ebac, with hot gas defrost, and variable humidistat. I use a CD-30 Probably a bit big for the boat, but works very well.

I have a trade account with them, but the outfit in the above link are knocking them out at pretty much trade price.

Buying a cheapy could well be a false economy - a guy on the next pontoon to us lost his Phantom 43 due to cheap dehumidifier.
 
Don't buy a cheapie..they're absolute rubbish!!! I had an Ebac, expensive but worked really well. When that died after 9 years I bought one from B& Q for about £75.00 and it's hopeless.
My advice is buy the best you can afford and for a boat the hot gas version is recommended.
 
Another vote for the X-Dry, We use the predecessor the AmberDry, very quiet in opperation, amazing results, we even leave it on overnight when aboard it's so quiet.

Also lightweight & compact with no drop off in performance in cold temperatures, process adds a bit of heat on output too so circulation of dried air is better than the compressor types.

Good price in the link, they can be well over £200, especially around winter season.
