How do u drain the unit?

The model I have, a Haier, circa 2007-ish, does not require draining.. it vents humidity in the room out the window through its huge vent hose. There is NO drip / drain pan.. it does have a rubber drain plug at the bottom rear, but its "Drain" warning light has never come on in the seven years I've owned and used it {{knock wood}}.. in MY location in SoCal it can get fairly humid, but not as much as, say, Florida gets.. so, if the "Drain" light ever does come on, which it never has, I'd pull our the rubber plug and let it drain into a shallow pan or bowl, but that light has never come on once in seven years of heavy use.. the moisture goes out the window, along with the hot interior air while it's in a / c mode.. by the way, the Amazon product page says this unit is not available, but mine looks exactly like the picture / photo.. it was given to me as a gift, and when Amazon sold it, I believe the price was $350.00-ish.. by the way, assuming this link isn't edited out, here is my original review of the Haier from August, 2006, a couple of days after I got the unit..

You can connect a hose and put the hose in a drain. Never have to empty the bucket again!

As I recall, the instructions were not worth much anyway. Just put some clean water in the top half of the unit. Push the pump to dispense water into bowl. Pull the handle that opens the blade valve to transfer water into lower half of unit. Remove top half of unit and transport to where you want to dump it. By working with clean water you won't make a mess while learning how it all works. Not hard to figure this out.

It has a hose connection so you can set it up to drain that way. I've only used it by emptying the bucket every few days.

Hi Kim,The unit drains by gravity. If your hose is higher than the unit, it will not drain through the hose.

I am not sure, but you have to make sure the hose is connected inside the unit for the water to drain.

The drain attaches to a fixture at the side of the unit. From there you can attach an old garden hose and drain any where.

You do not drain the whole hot water tank. The idea is to get water back into the entire system, notair. Install pump, install the valve in the system, (In the farthest part of the home), turn water back on, open taps, get air out off system. Close taps. Turn pump on.

As Paul said, "Make sure the hose runs down below the spicket. There's no pump. Drain it into a sump pump hole (if in a basement with a pump), or, if you're running the hose out a window or into an open drain, elevate the unit above the that.

Unscrew the plastic drain plug. You can access it from the outside of the vehicle. It's directly on the face of the water heater on the bottom. 1 & 1/16" socket is helpful, or you can get a crescent wrench in there. I think it is the only plug right into the tank on the outside. Just unscrew it and let it drain.

Unplug the unit and take it to the sink, pour the old water out then take the unit apart, I use about a Tablespoon of vinegar mixed with about a cup of water take an old wash cloth and wipe around the inside, it will have a built up of water deposit around the heating element and where it get's really warm at, I take an old toothbrush or cotton swabs and try and get as much off as I can but you won't get all of it off and that's ok. and pour a little of the cleaning solution in it then rinse all out of everything. I do this once a week. To keep the water deposit from building up use distilled water. Then fill the tank up and it's ready to use. Hope this help's.

It uses shop air pressure to drain it, Connect the drain hose, then connect the shop air and open valves. Very easy, Great unit.

You need to get a hose and hook it up- in the picture it shows 2 hoses, one is for water to the sink the other is for the drain

Attach the end of the hose to the water supply. Then all you have to do is turn the water on and watch the hose grow. When are finished with the hose to drain water, turn the water off and hold the nozzle till water drains out.

What I did was purchases some tubing from home depot and I drain the AC unit outside the door. My unit uses a sliding door so I was able to route the tubing on a downward slope.

No, tank has to be in unit to operate and drain plug is in top of tank so not sure how you could make it self drain. Tank fits very smug with no room to add drain tube. Hope this helps you.
