for Water Restoration Jobs
Current industry standards call for one axial air mover per
12-16 linear feet of wall space, dependent upon the Class
of water damage. For commercial structures, the industry
standard calls for one air mover for every 50-60 ft
The water restoration industry based these estimates on
the air mover technology available when writing the
standards. Following these equipment-sizing standards

dramatically faster drying times. If the restoration
professional desires to merely achieve industry standard
drying times, he can use fewer V

than current equipment standards allow.

Placement of the VP3000 A
Current industry guidelines suggest placing air movers at
a 45° angle to wall. These guidelines apply to air movers
without FOCUS Technology. FOCUS Technology allows the
restoration professional to place the V

at an angle more parallel to the wall.
