is it waterproof and does it give enough ventilation to prevent mold build-up?

I'm not sure I would call it waterproof but it does an excellent job of keeping rain off of the bike. I have seen no evidence of mold buildup in the couple of months I've had mine and there has been a good deal of rain in our area. Hope this helps.

Yes, it is waterproof and apparently it does - I have had it on my Yamaha Majesty for quite a while with no mold build-up in a very humid area

It's not completely waterproof. It breathes enough that my bike feels somewhat damp after it's been covered all day during a rainstorm, but there are no puddles under the cover.I don't leave the cover on for longer than ten hours at a time, though (just at my place of employment during the day) so I don't know if you'd have a mold problem if the bike was covered for long periods.

I never head of "avoid mold from water....". I just used the cheapest primer I could get, don't know the brand name or type of primer I used. I don't have any mold soaking through. Hope this helps.

Yes you should vent it outside. It works very well and you do not want to put the moisture from the bath into the attic. It may cause mold to develop if not removed

Read the instruction book - there is a clearly marked water level line on the plastic tank. We put ours up against the wall when we're not using it. I think as long as there is sunlight and you are actively using it the water should be fine. The chlorine tablet is essential to discourage mold/mildew. If you are storing it for a longer period of time unused I would empty it and allow all water to evaporate out for a dry interior - otherwise mold and mildew will form in a sealed and dark space that has any moisture.

I have 2 of these racks and love them! One of them is used in Florida, where it is humid, and we have not seen any mildew/mold. Have used it for 4-5 years. There is a coating of plastic on the rods.

It is not waterproof or resistant, but it is very well made. I have used it outdoors many times without incident. Humidity is not a problem, I live in South Florida, but I would not want it to get soaking wet.

Yes, it's completely waterproof. I've used it for two years and have had no mildew or leaks.

I wouldn't rely on anything to control mold as mold can kill you. I would ensure the area is very dry to control mold. this device would run after dryness is ensured to mitigate slight airborne potential residual.

Hi Alli, thank you for your inquiry. Our covers are not waterproof, but rather are highly water resistant. We do not manufacture, nor do we recommend completely waterproof covers as they do not allow for proper airflow throughout the cover which in turn can cause mold and mildew to form. If there is anything else that we can assist you with, please let us know.

The air cannot be tested, but if you use the swab to test surfaces in the area where dust has settled that will tell you if mold is in the air because the mold spores will settle with the dust. I had a question while testing mold near the kids' shower and contacted the manufacturer at the number they provided in the instructions and they were knowledgable and helpful. I would recommend you contact them as they might have a better idea than mine.

I would say if there is a light mist you will be fine; if its a down pour then expect your stuff to get wet. There are no seals to suggest it's water proof.

I've had it for several years in all weather, year round. The cold and wet affects it almost not at all aside from some mold. It is still waterproof with the exception of a tear. The tear happened because it got brittle because of sun exposure. A UV silicone spray would probably have helped it last a little longer, but for $15-30, it probably isn't worth it.

The curtain is waterproof, but i use a liner to keep the curtain in good shape. i can through a liner out if there is mold or mildew or soap scum on it.

Mine did, although it lived in our basement, (finished). When I bought a new one, I put sealer on it and that has kept it mold free so far.

Not likely. It circulates air through a filter. I am not sure how that could have much of an impact on mold.
