are there drainage problems w/this unit or is a drainage problem due to an incorrect installation?

We are very satisfied with this unit and have had no drainage problems. My husband installed this in a basement window and it has worked very well.

I haven't had any problems with drainage. I just installed and tilted it slightly for drainage

Yes.it hold a lot of water whick causes the fan to sling water out, the side of it all on my house which causes this pink stuff to grow on my house

It's been 2 years in my possession and I haven't experienced any problems whatsoever.

It absolutely DOES have drainage problems. If you live in an area where you get a lot of rain it can leak inside.

The overflow problem I had was with pot lid flowing in faster than can drop into pot. So I made drain hole slightly larger. Have not had issues since. Drains into pot fine w/o a mess

I did not install yet as I have to make some repairs in my house. There is a review of another customer -By THOMAS PAGET - that had problems but manage to solve them. Hope I don't have the same problems as Andrea C. Sorry that I can't be helpfull.

Make sure that when you press on the cover for a tight seal then tilt towards the drainage part. Most if not all the water should be drained. Works great!

I have the same problem. There is a design flaw, get a sharp pointed knife or something and move the drain hole line inside the water resorvoir. The water is not draining into the lower part. I am going to ask to get mine replaced. I see at least one other person has had the same problem

This unit has poor drainage. So bad that my coils corroded out and leaked within a year after buying it. If you tilt forward, that poor drainage is going to drain right into your home. If you tilt back, that poor drainage is just going to be worse. You could try adding some drainage holes (being very careful not to make a hole in the coils), but you're probably better off buying one that isn't designed so poorly.

YES, we have been very pleased with our purchase. I also bought the pop-up drain If you would like to see my installation write me at Bogo1@Yahoo.com

It should be draining. If it is not it is not installed properly. An A\C dehumidifies it's area and that water should be dripping out of the part that hangs outside the house. If it is not doing that it needs to be tipped back just a little so it does or you will have that dirty water sitting in there with a chance of mold.

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.

It has no back flow prevention that stops water in the drain from being sucked into the RO system. Depending on your installation, an air gap is sometimes recommended.

It is normal for the drain. It will be nice to find a way to recycle the drained water for the garden!

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

I have had no trouble with this. No odors or problems caused because of no drain hole.I have 2 units and I would replace with same unit should one quit.Hope this helps.

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

We have no problem. I think that's a question for your plumber or whoever installed it. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

I do not have the unit here but I believe it is a 4 inch -- it is flex pipe made of pvc -- unit works well and there have been no water drainage issues
