Description
Powerful, Precise Moisture Control for Building, Decorating & Renovation Projects.
The Ebac Powerdri 18 Dehumidifier is a robust semi-professional compressor dehumidifier designed for demanding drying jobs around homes, rental properties and renovation projects. Ideal for building drying, plastering, decorating, water ingress and minor flood recovery, it combines straightforward operation with precise humidity control.
At the heart of the Powerdri 18 is Ebac's Infinity Humidistat, allowing you to select the required humidity level and have the dehumidifier automatically maintain it.
A permanent drainage kit and castor kit are both included, making the Powerdri 18 particularly well suited to extended drying jobs where convenient water removal and easy movement between working areas are important.
Infinity Humidistat for Precise Humidity Control
The Ebac Powerdri 18 features an Infinity Humidistat, giving you adjustable control over the humidity level required for the job.
Once set, the dehumidifier automatically responds to changing moisture conditions to help maintain the selected humidity level.
This makes the Powerdri 18 particularly useful for drying and renovation projects where greater control over environmental conditions is preferable to simply running a dehumidifier continuously.
Ideal for Building, Plastering & Decorating Work
Designed for more demanding moisture-control jobs, the Powerdri 18 is well suited to DIY projects, tradespeople, landlords, decorators and property renovation work.
Typical applications include drying during plastering and decorating projects, managing moisture during refurbishment, assisting after water ingress and supporting drying following minor flooding.
Its compressor-based dehumidification system removes excess moisture from the surrounding air, helping create more controlled drying conditions throughout the project.
Useful for Water Ingress & Minor Flood Recovery
The Ebac Powerdri 18 can also help with drying following leaks, water ingress and minor flooding once the source of the water has been stopped and any standing water has been safely removed.
Continuous moisture extraction can then help manage elevated humidity while affected areas and suitable materials dry.
For substantial flooding, contaminated water or structural water damage, specialist professional assessment and drying equipment may be required.
Permanent Drainage Kit Included
Unlike models where continuous drainage equipment is an optional extra, the Powerdri 18 is supplied with a permanent drainage kit.
This allows collected water to drain continuously to a suitable location, making it particularly convenient for longer drying projects where repeatedly emptying the internal water container would be impractical.
Castor Kit Included for Easier Movement
A castor kit is also included, making it easier to reposition the Powerdri 18 as work progresses between rooms and different areas of a property.
An integrated carry handle provides an additional option when the appliance needs to be lifted or repositioned.
3.5 Litre Enclosed Water Container
When permanent drainage isn't being used, extracted moisture can be collected inside the 3.5-litre enclosed water container.
A container-full indicator lets you know when the tank requires attention, while automatic shut-off stops operation when the container is full.
Intelligent Defrost for Cooler Conditions
The Powerdri 18 incorporates Intelligent Defrost to support compressor operation when working in cooler environments.
Its specified operating temperature range of 3°C to 35°C provides flexibility across a wide range of indoor working conditions.
Boost Mode, Two Speeds & Laundry Drying
Alongside its Infinity Humidistat, the Powerdri 18 provides two speed settings and Boost Mode for additional flexibility when dealing with demanding moisture conditions.
A Laundry Drying option also makes the dehumidifier useful beyond renovation projects, helping manage the additional moisture released when clothes are dried indoors.
Carbon Filter Included
A carbon filter is supplied as standard, providing additional air treatment as air circulates through the dehumidifier.
An optional antibacterial filter is also available if required.
