If continuous hose is set up and unit is running ,will the tank never overfill? Do I need to adjust the water flow?

No. The water shuts off when there is enough in the tank. It only refills when needed.
1474909
No, the tank will not overfill. It has a float in place to stop the water when it gets to full.

It has a float in the tank like the one in your toilet. So take the back off and watch as it fills, adjust the float like you would your toilet float. Bend the rod or find a different rod that would work if you're not comfortable bending the rod connected to the float.

If you overfill it, it doesn't produce mist and therefor the water level doesn't go down. Also, make sure you are using tap water, or as the hilariously translated directions say, water derived from the pipes.

It will run for a while after using it, as it is in fact refilling the holding tank. It should stop after a while though. Depends on how much water you used, but it does seem to take a while to refill.

read the instruction manual. there will be a section on this. i believe there's a "cap" that needs to be removed first. but it's likely you do not have the drain hose LOWER than the unit so it cannot flow correctly.

I don't have my setup to empty into a drain but the unit I have does shut off completely when the desired humidity level is reached. I have been unhappy about this since the unit is not supposed to shut off completely (unless the water tank is full). I returned one unit after confirming with the manufacturer that indeed the fan should continue running even when the compressor stops (once humidity level is reached). The second unit they sent me is doing the same thing as the first - shutting off and then clicking back on....which wakes me up at night.

Nope. I've owned three, zero leaks. Could it be overfilled? If you can verify the leak (maybe from a line?) I'd send it back. Good luck!

Always drain it after using by taking in and out hoses off there is also a little valve look on the instructions. I also mounted mine on a 4x4 I wrap it with a blanket and then slid a plastic garbage can over unit and 4x4

I had the same problem. I went on the RDS website and they said to turn valve off, run main tank down below half and then open the valve again. Don't ask me why this would make a difference but I did it and the main tank refilled and did not overflow this time. Not sure why, but it works.

I have slightly overfilled it with no problems. It's fairly easy to see the fill line on the reservoir.

It has a place for a hose hookup. The machine shuts down when the tank is full. But just to set the unit over a drain wouldn't work. You would have to hook the hose up to it The machine works great..

You can fill it up either way, just make sure you keep an eye on the gauge and slow down when almost full, kind of hard to move when full though, I just fill it with a five gallon tank and make a few trips.

Yes. After filling the tank and inserting it into the base, water will fill the base.

You have to adjust the nozzle just so by turning it all the way to the lowest pressure setting. It's a weird system and is not always reliable but I was able to get it to work eventually. I had to replace the rubber hose that carries the detergent from the tank because leftover detergent ate through the hose. I suggest running some water through the detergent tank before storing the unit.

Yes it's the only maintenance required and way to do that is to push up on the tiny metal pin at the very bottom of the site glass, the tank needs to be pressurized. I do have to add that my compressor stopped working after the first use. The auto stop failed a d now I have to use it on the constant run mode

You should check to be sure the unit is absolutely level. If it isn't, the water may flow into the tank instead of the hose. (Had it happen to me.)

That depends how you want to use it. There is a waterfall and so In order for the waterfall to keep working a hose needs to be on the whole time. However, if you don't want to use the waterfall then you can just fill up the pool and turn off the water

I have not had a problem wth the float. T tank and that valve is where I have had trouble. I will have the unit shut down with a full tank of water. Hope this helps.
