any drainage problems with this unit, or are drainage problems due to incorrect installation?

I haven't noticed any drainage problems. Be aware that, by design, these A/c units retain some water which is then splashed by the fan onto the coils to augment the cooling process. This causes a splashing sound to be heard when the fan turns on.

I have two Frigidaire ACs and have never had drainage problems. Drainage has not been an issue on Amazon reviews either. That doesn't mean you don't have a drainage problem. You might need someone with AC knowledge to take a good look at how the machine is working as well as the installation fitting. Hope this helped.

when installed properly, accumulating water is lifted by the fan and blown against the hot condenser coils to evaporate. on very humid days you may notice some water condensation beading around a cold spot at the bottom center a quarter the way from the indoor side of the cabinet. my guess is this is a spot where the low pressure coolant line is against the case and was poorly insulated by the manufacturer. if your bottom exposed window frame is made of wood, I would line the bottom under the AC cabinet with some mylar to prevent any condensation buildup from damaging your wood if you live in an often humid climate. when installed properly, accumulating water is lifted by the fan and blown against the hot condenser coils to evaporate. on very humid days you may notice some water condensation beading around a cold spot at the bottom center a quarter the way from the indoor side of the cabinet. my guess is this is a spot where the low pressure coolant line is against the case and was poorly insulated by the manufacturer. if your bottom exposed window frame is made of wood, I would line the bottom under the AC cabinet with some mylar to prevent any condensation buildup from damaging your wood if you live... » Read More when installed properly, accumulating water is lifted by the fan and blown against the hot condenser coils to evaporate. on very humid days you may notice some water condensation beading around a cold spot at the bottom center a quarter the way from the indoor side of the cabinet. my guess is this is a spot where the low pressure coolant line is against the case and was poorly insulated by the manufacturer. if your bottom exposed window frame is made of wood, I would line the bottom under the AC cabinet with some mylar to prevent any condensation buildup from damaging your wood if you live in an often humid climate. « Show Less

I used a power drill with a 7/8 spade bit and drilled 5 holes in each section for a total of 15 drainage holes. I also put a layer of small rocks on the bottom. Worked perfectly.

do you have the drain piece installed properly? it should pop in and seal on both sides.

I installed mine over a year ago, no problems so far. I did swap an 0-ring for the aerator on my installations since I did not want the aerator screen.

Hmmm - never had that problem, although my drain tube is a little lower...about 2ft 9inch.

Their are no drainage holes. We got it to use with our beer clubs portable tap system. It works great!

It actually has a center section that is slightly raised creating a tiny slope around the sides of the raised area. The entire bottom is perforated. I've had no problems with it draining.

We purchased this tub, and the recommended drain assembly from Amazon. Our plumber had no trouble with the installation (August 2013) and everything works well.

No. The sides rest directly on the dirt and there is no bottom, so no drainage system needed.

No. I purchased a drainage stopper from Amazon for one side. The second side is fitted with a garbage disposal.

No, it should fully drain away. Perhaps there is something wrong with the connection, or the pipe is blocked?

We get complete drainage but I suspect the configuration of the basin may be a factor. Ours is VERY old, late '40's model so may be different than modern sinks.

Hi, mine is installed on a second floor. The only issue we had was you need to be able to set it in place and access from below to secure the dain. In other words the drainage that came with it did not allow to be tighten from the top. Hope it helps

There is a drain in the back of the unit at floor level. I added a condensate pump to boost it from the floor out a window. There is also a very large exhaust hose that goes with an included window mount.

We had a plumber install it. He did not report problems. We had our counter top tiled after the faucet was installed
