I have to tilt my portable AC unit before the water comes out. Can this device handle a sudden and large amount of water?

Perhaps you are not waiting long enough for your AC water level to reach the overflow level. The Little Giant will hold 1/2 gallon and unless you try to dump all the water in it, if should easily handle a slow "pour" from you tilted AC.

It would be hard to answer without knowing how much water we're talking about, but it holds about a quart of water and empties out pretty quickly.

If the tank is at it's low level it should be able to handle a quart of water every 30 seconds.

I would advise against it if water went over lid. I doubt if the wiring is watertight. Unit would probably have a tendency to float.

I would not suggest it. Few things. 1.) There are three heating "silos" within the unit one for each breaker. So one "silos" wouldn't be doing anything unless you got fancy with the wiring. 2.) I think the device uses only as many breakers as it needs, so if the water is unusually warm I can see it only pulling power from one breaker until it hits the set temperature. If the water is unusually cold it will pull from all three until it hits the set temperature. 3.) I do not believe the wiring within the unit is rated for 6-2 so you would probably mess something up.

I have the same thing. I sort of tilt it until it feeds water to the bottom

I doubt it, I took mine apart to repair the button sticking problem and don't remember anything that would keep water out of the unit...Geo

Hi - it does not tilt. I live in Arizona so I'm not 100% sure about the waterproof part. It did get blown into the pool at one point, and when I stood it back up it was drenched but dried pretty fast - within 2 hours. Sorry - not much help. The short screw on part is actually the bottom half of the pole. They ship it to you broken down into 2 pieces. The pole does not fit in a standard umbrella base. Its about 2 3/4" wide, so you'll need an umbrella base with a wider pole opening. I had to purchase one.

Yes if it is pointed down a small angle. This will allow water to run out not in. Mount it under an eve is best.

It is supposed to work from water pressure. One is not enough. I would not recommend.

Should not be a problem unless it gets wet. Make sure your irrigation is turned off. Load your unit with some dry dog food.

I imagine the unit would work as long as the water was flowing and not frozen itself. Otherwise I do not know.

I installed a PVC system for my unit and built it in such a way the the air must travel uphill for a ways thus making it more difficult for the water to get to the unit. I have had no problems with water in the unit. Hope this helps.

I am able to tilt mine back pretty far, enough for a loose water color, really wish I could upload a photo to show you.

Not really....you would need to flush out all of the air in the connections (not bypass ports) and the sensor may not be able to handle getting wet..... you could get general levels of magnitude if you keep a column of air in the tube .....

No problem with tilt, the designer used a very clever method to be certain that there was always water until the tank is empty. Mine operates of and on, it makes steam for about 3 min. then quits steaming apparently to get the incoming water hot again. Always did this and less than a month old.

I don't know if the unit was designed to operate on its side. I doubt it because it needs to drain condensation moisture. Better ask the mfg this question.

The device really needs a horizontal service to lay on which provides the support and vertical connection for adjustment of the auto fill according to the water level

I beleive it is thermastically controlled and will turn itself off when there is no water. Temperature (<32 degrees) and moisture need to be present for device to function.
