what happen to all the substances that it suck or draw out of the ac unit?

The butane is expelled into the atmosphere through the exhaust, I vac inside and don't have any issues

This device IS NOT for removing the refrigerants. This pump is used after the system has been opened and serviced. It's purpose is to draw out the air and moisture prior to recharging; which are discharged into the open air.

the unit by design, evaporates the condensation it removes from the space being cooled. It does this in the same way a window ac does.

It was awhile after installing mine that I had the burning smell and finally found that the light was degrading the plastic water tray for the A/C's condenser coil. The smell went away a couple months after un-plugging it. I moved it to a main duct away from the furnace as the light is small, but very powerful and remember NOT to look at the blue light!

Well you have to fill it up to the maximum fill line, then it creates this little water vortex. No mist will come out, just a very tiny breeze coming from the holes. Personally, I stopped using mine after a few weeks, it was just not worth it, it did nothing for my room, it's just far too small to be of any decent use, so I moved onto a room ionizer and that worked much better.

Yes, they need to be purged. Call your local AC guy. It takes a single end, so be sure you ask first before having them come out. Took three tries for me to find one that had the right end. Good luck.

This one uses electricity. This is the second one I've owned. Works really well but even if you don't plan to use it when purchased, get it out of the box and make sure it isn't defective! I bought it on sale and did not use it till several months later when I needed it. There is a leak somewhere behind the pressure gauge and I couldn't exchange it because it had been too long. Still works but loses air constantly which is a bummer. Lesson learned. Some day I will get another one just like it and take it out of the box right away!

No. You have to empty it occasionally. The air conditioner will stop working and all the lights on the front will flash when you need to empty it. The easiest way is to roll it to a stair or a door and pull the plug out of the back to drain it into a bucket. There will be a fair amount of water when you empty it, but it never leaks if you've got the plug in correctly.

I have a 4000 sf house with 8 inlets and had no problem. They are about as still as a dryer sheet so it should pass through without a problem. I left the sheets in the vacuum can for awhile to deodorize. My system is a very old system that has just a cloth bag which is no longer made. I am just about to replace it with a bag system so if my old unit can pull it through, you should not have a problem.

prevent a build-up of minerals from hard water inside the unit and it will last a lot longer. To prevent a build-up of minerals from hard water inside the unit. Just run a cup of vinegar through the unit, now it's going to smell of vinegar. So what I do is go outside and plug it in and let it do it's thing. I got this from Hints from Heloise in the late 60's

No. That happens after a while. Have to replace the whole unit. Same thing has happened to one of mine after a few years.

Do you mean the drain hose, or the exhaust hose? If the drain hose, yes, but only if the AC is at a higher elevation than the sink. (Water runs downhill). If you mean the exhaust hose, then, no. The AC is drawing air from the room, and removing the heat from that air. The excess heat has to go somewhere (heat is energy, and energy doesn't just disappear, it has to go somewhere). If you blow that exhaust heat back into room, the overall room temperature will not go down. In fact, it may go UP, because the AC is also drawing energy from electrical outlet to do the work it is doing, and THAT energy has to go somewhere. So, no, putting the exhaust hose in the sink will not give you a good result. Do you mean the drain hose, or the exhaust hose?

I had it once. It kept flushing whole night. I cannot determine the cause. So I remove the unit.

Refrigerant cannot be evacuated and recycled from this pump without possible damage to the pump itself. Refrigerant from A/C system must already be discharged by some other method if not a newly repaired system. This vacuum pumps goal is to create negative atmosphere inside your A/C system which will remove moisture (very important) and help facilitate the introduction of refrigerant and/or refrigerant oil in the charging process.

The line connections are flare nut. So you will have to purge lines and use a vacuum pump to eliminate all air and non condensables out of the line set and the inside coil.

hi, i have only been using in for a couple weeks now. so far i have not have to empty it but i dont think its been used enough time to gauge the outcome. i live in california.

My air conditioner is inside a sleeve. It does not drip enough water so that it exits the sleeve and drips down the side of the building. I don't know how much water actually comes out of this AC because I would have to pull the unit out. However, my old AC, not a Soleus, dripped water into my living room...so perhaps this suggests that not so much water drips out of the Soleus.

It massively changes temperature with pressure changes, and for some reason, every ahower seems to have a pressure and temperature drop. I can't account the cause of this, unless it's the unit doing it. Occasionally the unit leaks a cup or two from somewhere in back. We keep a bucket under it.
