Phoenix R175 LGR Dehumidifier
Commercial-Grade Flood Restoration & Structural Drying
When a flood hits, time is your biggest enemy. The Phoenix R175 LGR Dehumidifier is not your standard home appliance; it is a professional-grade “Low Grain Refrigerant” (LGR) powerhouse designed specifically for water damage restoration, structural drying, and high-performance moisture removal.
Available for immediate hire across Auckland, the R175 is the industry standard for professionals who need to dry out carpets, timber frames, and drywall fast.
Why Choose the Phoenix R175 LGR?
The “LGR” in the name stands for Low Grain Refrigerant. Unlike standard dehumidifiers that stop working when the air gets relatively dry, LGR technology allows this unit to continue pulling moisture out of the air even at very low humidity levels. This is critical for “deep drying” materials like hardwood floors and internal wall structures to prevent long-term mold growth.

-
Massive Water Extraction: Pulls up to 80 Liters per day at saturation, making it ideal for large commercial spaces or severe residential floods.
