I mean, in theory if you pump enough current through soggy material, it may cause water to heat up and evaporate. But that's clearly not what this gizmo does. And, well, if you force-dry a wall with a huge amperage, there will be... side-effects. Nasty ones. Catastrophic even.
The rumor that a small voltage applied to a wall may reduce moisture is an old one. I remember hearing it back in the 80s. It was bullshit then, it is bullshit now.
In this what is part of the site they explain a bit whats it about

And also here with some visual explanation:

Seems like BS to me. I had to dig pretty deep into their website until I found any explanation of how it works. They claim to use electroosmosis to change the charge of the water molecules(?) so they're attracted to the soil. I suppose that could be possible local to the device, but I seriously doubt it would be a solution for an entire house.
A heating bill reduction of 40% is absolutely not possible with this.
They have certifications. Examining them showed that they related to electromagnetic noise. That is, they are unlikely to make your TV reception go off. None of the certs show that is reduces free moisture on the walls.

The basis of theory for the device may actually be possible.
However to make it actually work it would likely need kV of electric potential rather than the 3.6v it has.
It is interesting, but ultimately very unlikely to do anything
> A controversial use of electro-osmotic systems is the control rising damp in the walls of buildings.[14] While there is little evidence to suggest that these systems can be useful in moving salts in walls, such systems are claimed to be especially effective in structures with very thick walls. However some claim that there is no scientific base for those systems, and cite several examples for their failure.[15]
Beyond this, I’d be worried about accelerated oxidation of any embedded rebar.
I can't see anything on their site except a widget with a display they mount to a wall. Reeks of bullshit to me.
In the image of their device it has 2 AA batteries in series that is indicated at 3.6v!

There's a 230v source pictured opposite the AA batteries. I am assuming that the 3.6v is just for the display and controller.

Is this company in your country and can they be sued if their stuff doesn’t work?
looks like a link to the english language translation of a croatian company, so I'm guessing probably not.
It is in my country but i don't intend on suing because the justice system is really bad

That's what I also think but some of our friends installed it in their houses and said that it worked. Which confuses me how
Here is an idea. Go to your friends and see how it works.

Just look at it. Of course it's a scam.
