HI-FLO MERV-8 filter for Dri-Eaz compact LGR dehumidifiers, 11 x 10 x 1 inch (about 279 x 254 x 25 mm). CCW lists it for the Dri-Eaz BD2500 and Evolution, as an alternative to the Dri-Eaz 4-PRO filter F583.
Fitment
Listed by CCW for:
- Dri-Eaz BD2500 (F413), sold overseas as the Revolution
- Dri-Eaz Evolution
Important: measure before ordering for an Evolution
Sources do not all agree on which filter the Evolution takes. Legend Brands, Dri-Eaz's parent company, lists the Evolution on a different 4-PRO filter size from the BD2500 (Revolution). Before ordering for an Evolution, measure the filter in your machine or send us the model and serial number from the data plate, and we will confirm.
For the larger machines — DrizAir 1200, LGR 7000XLi and Phoenix R125 to R200 — you need the bigger HI-FLO MERV-8 filter AC236A.
HI-FLO or 4-PRO?
- HI-FLO MERV-8 (this filter) — a MERV-8 media filter for equipment protection. The lower-cost option for everyday water damage work, where the job is keeping dust off the coil.
- Dri-Eaz 4-PRO (F583) — Dri-Eaz's own four-stage filter with an activated carbon layer. The choice where odour and fumes are part of the job.
Why the filter decides how the machine performs
A dehumidifier moves air across a coil. Restrict the air and you reduce the water it can pull out, regardless of how well the refrigeration circuit is working. A loaded filter is a drying performance problem before it is a maintenance problem, and it shows up as a drying log that has flattened out while the machine appears to be running normally.

Operating advice
- Check the filter at every equipment swap on a job, not at the end of the job.
- Carry spares. A filter changed on site keeps the drying on schedule.
- On fire and soot work, expect to change filters far more often than on water damage.
- Do not run a dehumidifier without a filter. What the filter catches otherwise goes onto the coil.
Frequently asked questions
Can I clean and reuse it?
It is a disposable filter. Washing a media filter damages the media and changes its efficiency.
What does MERV-8 mean?
It is a filtration efficiency rating. MERV-8 is the standard grade for equipment protection on restoration dehumidifiers.
How often should it be changed?
On condition, not on a schedule. Soot and construction dust load a filter far faster than ordinary water damage work.
Not sure which filter your dehumidifier takes? Send us the model and serial number, or the size of your old filter, and we will confirm before you order. More in Filters & Filter Bags.
