Owner's Manual — Phoenix 300
The Phoenix 300 Dehumidifier is designed to maximize the water removal capacity from a single 0V, 5 amp circuit.
The multiple ducting options on the Phoenix 300 allows for ducting both the intake air and the filtered and
dehumidified supply air. This makes it possible to easily combine the Phoenix 300 with a HEPA air scrubber, air
conditioner or desiccant dehumidifier.
Phoenix dehumidifiers feature significant air filtration. Even the standard 57% MERV-8 filters remove over 90% of
seven-micron particles (the size of a human red blood cell). This filtration dramatically improves the air quality in the
areas being dried and assures continued optimal performance of the refrigeration system.
