Trap Dri Bagpipe Moisture Control Full Bottle Trap Set Up
Trap Dri is the rapidly growing moisture control device now played and recommended by the worlds top pipe bands and solo pipers.
The trap captures and retains moisture, preventing it being blown through the tube and into your bag by utilizing existing air pressure to create an airflow through the device that vacuums in moisture like magic, with pipers reporting on average 100% or more extra water pour off using the device.
4 point moisture capture makes this one the most efficient and stable forms of moisture control available. The selected elbow forms a pre water trap inside stock, Trapdri collects and holds excess condensing moisture, mid connector creates a further stop to any water allowing the bottle and cloth to do what it should which is dry the passing the air without being saturated with the excess moisture from the tube and being rendered useless after 10 - 20 mins playing.
Pipes remain in tune longer and can be played longer than before.
Trap Dri moisture control trap
The Trap Dri moisture control trap has been developed to prevent excess water escaping from your water trap and saturating your pipe bag by capturing and retaining moisture in the tube to be emptied. A revolution in moisture control.
The Trap Dri unit is fitted to your existing water trap tube and does not require a zip bag as it can slip through almost any split stock.
(Currently supports the standard tube with external diameter of appx 20 – 23mm used by majority of pipers or tube with internal diameter of 19mm, we will adapt this to fit any tube size or system soon, Full bottle trap set up’s available in shop for synthetic zip bags now).
With Trap Dri installed you will obtain a vastly reduced level of moisture into your bag.
Designed to be so unrestrictive to airflow you won’t even know it’s there and enhance your playing experience.
The trap works by collecting water which condenses inside your water trap tube and locks it inside the Trap Dri. Using a unique combination of air pressure and water flow to draw the water into the Trap Dri unit the water then becomes trapped and can’t make its way to the end of your tube where it can escape through the holes, resulting in better bagpipe performance.
Using Trap Dri will prolong the life of your sheepskin or other animal skin bag by drastically reducing the amount of water your bag has to absorb.
Using the Trap Dri in a synthetic bag by adapting it to fit your current system will greatly enhance the effectiveness of any existing moisture control by locking water away and preventing it running up the tube and soaking your moisture control system.
In either animal skin or synthetic bag you will obtain a steady balance of moisture meaning your pipes will remain in tune longer and can be played longer than before. “Spend your time practicing tunes, not tuning”.
The Trap Dri is virtually maintenance free. Simply remove every few weeks to clean.
Give your pipes the treatment they deserve by installing this revolutionary new trap which never loses its effectiveness during use.
