How often should you have to empty water from a.c. ?
1009367
High humidity day possibly twice (at least once) daily if just draining the internal tank. It takes a lot of H2O out of the air.

Our complaint with this unit is that it needs to be emptied every 2 hours when it is humid. We would never get one of these things again. They are not for humid areas.

This is my first time using a portable air conditioning unit, so I don't know what's normal for them. What I read from other reviews though it seems that some people only have to worry about it once a day or hardly at all. When I first got it I definitely wasn't emptying it three times a day, but I have been the past 3-5 days. I'm used to wall units where you don't have to worry about it. And apparently some portable units have the capability of actually taking the water bucket out and emptying it that way, but this one doesn't.

Pam, I'm not sure, but in the past two days, with temps in the mid 80s and 50-60% humidity, I had to empty it every two hours yesterday. I know that other units with large, removable collection tanks take about 8 hours to fill in the same weather conditions.

I had it in my attic apartment near the coast, the high humidity caused me to dump five gallons every day twice

Hi Mike,Thank you for your question. I am replying in a few hours after business hours to expedite your request.The owners manual mentions only two maintenance tasks under normal use:1. To properly maintain the water heater, you should clean the air intake filter every 3-4 months.2. Clean the Inlet Water Filter and Recirculation Inlet Filter. However, the manual does not specify a time interval. We at GadgetsGo.com suggest that you check these filters once per year.Kind Regards,Ross KelsonGadgetsGo305-791-1101P.S.

If you are using the toilet as often as that then you will probably need to empty the urine container once or twice per week not because of smell but because it will be full. Obviously this depends on how many people are using it! 4 people for a weekend can get it pretty full.

I usually clean ir about once every week and a half. I usually just rinse out the bottle and then refill as needed, maybe once a week.

You should clean it once a month. But if you are not using the furnace or A/C you could do it less often. For cleaning, just run water through it. The kitchen spray hose works well. Shake it out and put it back to air dry.

If you are not going into the water. I would apply every 3-4 hours. If you are going into the water, I would suggest every 2 hours.

I've rarely needed to empty the water. But this is ultimately going to depend on how much you use the unit...

Usually only a few seconds. Make sure you didn't fill it too high. Mine would not produce a mist when I filled it over the line a little.

Haven't had it very long but it is not supposed to need to have the water tray emptied, unless humidity is exceptionally high.

i keep two filters, after about two to three weeks of use i change filters and soak the one i took out in a solution of white vinegar and water(20% vinegar/80%water) for about two days then rinse in clean water until vinegar smell is gone. be careful not to crush filter when rinsing.i usuallyget two seasons from the filters.

Don't know if it is necessary to empty the water after each use, but it is a good practice. Water in a closed container can harbor bacteria. If you remove the cleaner the batteries are are not making contact with a source so you don't have to remove them. Hope this helps

It depends on how hard your water is & how often you shower. I would recommend every 6 months, & not less than annually under normal water conditions.

We empty the tank once each month and wipe clean with kitchen paper towels without soap or dish washer liquid and replace the filter. The pump mechanism usually requires more frequent cleaning (every 2 weeks) and is determined by a notable reduction in the water flow. Additional water has to be added every 2 -3 days to maintain tank water level and reduce water fall noise.

We usually empty & refill the tray with clean water, once every couple of weeks or so; however there are only3 people living here---I do inspect the filter surface and tray weekly (takes a few seconds to check).

Weekly. Just pour vinegar and water in the tank and swish around, then pour that mixture in to the basin and use a cloth to wash the basin. Let air dry. On a daily basis, this unit is very easy to transport so you can pour out all of the water and rinse it. If you're not using it constantly just leave it all apart to air dry until you need it again. This unit is so easy to maintain!I saw a cleaning video somewhere for this unit-google it and you should find it.

Good question, doesn't seem to have a standard and it would really depend on the water you use. I would replace it whenever it looks dirty. Check monthly or less often if you are using filtered water.

It depends on how long you use it for. If you are doing it for a straight period of time you probably need to fill it every few hours or so.
