Dri-Eaz introduces latest EVOLUTION in dehumidifiers
New LGR features premier performance, compact design

Burlington, WASHINGTON - Feb. 2, 2004 - With the release of the new Evolution, Dri-Eaz Products Inc. is the first in the industry to pack advanced low grain refrigerant (LGR) technology into a compact-sized dehumidifier. Designed with the restoration professional in mind, the Evolution LGR encompasses the best drying technology and the most functional, user-friendly design features.

"The Evolution offers restorers a premier performance, compact dehumidifier that's a highly versatile addition to their drying fleet," said John Ormsby, Director of Customer Relations at Dri-Eaz. "The Evolution's technology means it will work hard and dry thoroughly, and its user-friendly features mean restorers will want to use it on every job."

Premier performance, compact design
Because it's an LGR, the Evolution will keep pulling moisture from the air after specific humidity falls below 40 grains per pound - where deep drying occurs and when many other dehumidifiers have stopped working. Incredibly portable at only 92 pounds and 33 inches tall, the Evolution is the ideal size to handle a small residential water damage job on its own. It's also great as part of a multiple room drying team - placed in combination with larger dehumidifiers to best fit the footprint of a structure. In addition to mitigating water damage, the Evolution is great for controlling moisture in enclosed environments like warehouses and basements; drying carpets after cleaning; and minimizing moisture issues during the new construction process.

Not only is the Evolution a top performer, it's also a highly functional piece of equipment. A new, durable folding handle makes it easy to maneuver on the job, and an improved quick-release hose wrap design greatly minimizes kinks. The pump can be accessed quickly and easily for basic maintenance and cleaning. Because it efficiently draws only 5.6 amps, the Evolution minimizes potential heat issues and can safely be used on the same circuit with other drying equipment.

Filtration and ducting with the multi-functional Evolution are also a snap. The Evolution uses a 3M High Air Flow (HAF) filter made of efficient, electrostatically charged media that captures far more particles than traditional foam. A unique filter door mechanism actually seals the filter in place. Lay flat ducting can be set up easily on the unit's built-in duct ring.

An exciting advancement in the long line of Dri-Eaz dehumidifiers, the Evolution exemplifies the legendary durability and quality that help make the company's products distinctive. The rotomolded housing resists rust and dents, and holds up well to rugged use on the job. As with all Dri-Eaz products, the Evolution has been independently tested for safety and is backed by warranty.
