I have to tilt the unit backwards by 30 degrees to drain the condensed water. Any ideas?

I roll up a paper towel the size of a pencil. Insert the towel in the drain pipe and let the towel hang into a small plastic bucket. Physics allows water to flow along the towel and drain the A/C. Problem solved. Good luck.

We had to deal with that too. Our solution was to put the unit on top of a 6 inch box and allow it to drain through a small hose straight down into a pump. The pump is always plugged in but has an on/off sensor that pumps the water out of the unit up into a big bucket when it reaches a certain level. Then when the bucket fills up I can easily take it to a sink or toilet. In the humid NYC summers I would have to empty it a couple of times a day but the A/C was a work horse and definitely worth it. The pump was about thirty dollars and really quiet. I think this summer I will get a longer hose that goes outside to the garden and we will never have to worry about emptying a bucket. It took me a while to set up the pump system so if you go that route let me know and I can go more in depth.

Use the "Upper Drain Port" in the middle of the back of the unit. See my review dated 7/22/2014 for list of inexpensive parts to hook up a drain hose.

I'm having the same issue. Other than that it's a great faucet.if I get this figured out I will post it. Good luck.

Since your faucet is this close to the wall, your hot water use is being restricted because it wont rotate fully. Your only choice is to loosen (just enough to turn it) the fixture from below and rotate it 90 degrees so the handle is toward the front. We started with ours facing the same as yours but found we preferred it toward the front. Good Luck

Sounds like you need to install a check valve in the line so that water does not flow back in the other direction.

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.

There is markedly less water. 0.5 gpm from Moen for Green Effect. Need to find part to put it back to 2.2 gpm.

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.

Try using the pot as a water-measuring device. I found that the water-level window can be deceiving--it gets fogged up making it difficult to see the real water line. If you add too much water it leaks out through a little whole on the back of the unit and puddles around the bottom.

We had the same issue. Turned out it was a plumbing issue, not this device. The plumber has to balance hot & cold, to your preference. It took him less than 2 minutes to adjust it. Good luck!

If memory serves you adjust the temperature with the bottom handle. You have to push that button inward and turn the handle counter clockwise...if this doesn't work make sure the water hoses behind the unit are connected to the correct pipes. Hope this helps.

Most likely the problem is a clog in the condensate line. These units have a reputation for this, although I've got three of them and haven't had the problem. If you take off the left side panel you'll see the coils and where the water drips down into a drip tray. There's a fairly small hole in this tray where the water is carried down into the system, get's evaporated, and is exhausted with the hot air through the window. This small drain hole is likely clogged and you'll have to clean it with a small brush. I believe others have posted more detailed instructions for this, and there may be instructions on DeLonghi's website as well. I do know that I vacuum my units regularly, both the filter and at the side vents, but at the end of the season I take them apart and clean them thoroughly and I've found an enormous amount of dirt and, in my case, dog hair, stuck in the coils. Cleaning this out helps to prevent the problem and also greatly improves it's cooling capacity. I hope this helps!

It is a pain if the unit is not elevated. I managed to hook up a tube that drained outside making it much easier. When I first got this unit it would constantly leak over the floor.

Apparently u have to drain it. Depending on how high the salt content is I just up the chlorine production to use more salt. Hope that helps,

Make sure the tubing/vent openings are clear and clean. Use distilled water as directed, and change the water bottle, which may be helpful.

Yes, angle it at steep 60 degrees. Try to keep inlet hose toward you in paint container. Careful, slow & watch for drip formation. Thet really need to design a container for that.

I tried to adjust it too... no luck.... just use less water in the tank and aim it to the side.... the beta will get used to the current :)

Usually this is caused because the black seal (which is taped onto the filmtec) is on the wrong end. Different systems circulate water different ways, so make sure you've got yours oriented correctly. Installing it backwards, or with the seal on the wrong end can cause the problem you describe.
