1. Does the tablets themselves not block the water-flow in the A/C drainage pipe? 2. How do I put it in the pipe? Do I need to call a plumber for it?

There is generally a collection box that the drainage pipe connects to and the tablets go in the collection box itself. There is usually a removable cap on the top of the box that you can pry off and then put the tablets in without disconnecting anything.

This product is for your secondar pan, for your primary drain tube you'll want Actabs Jr. Both products dissolve with water and basically cut through sludge. Most plumbers just use bleach. On the unit itself you'll see a white PVC pipe that is capped. Open the cap and put is a few tabs before the season and a couple in every month. Or just use bleach.

You put the tablet in the drain pan under the evaporator coils - not directly in the drainage pipe. The tablets will dissolve in the water, and that is why you need to put in new tablets from time to time. When you remove your AC filter, you should see the evaporator coils and the drain pan underneath. Just place the tablets in the drain pan, replace the filter, and that is it. They work great.

You only put them in the pan under the evaporator colls . It depends on the size of your system and how much you run it as to how many you put in . You should back wash the drain pipe with a garden hose to clean out any algae or mold that has build up in it , You only put the end of the hose in the drain pipe for a few seconds then let the water out do this a few times you will see the mold and algae come out you should do this first then go in and put the tablets in ,Then when you change your filter check and see if you need to add more .

I removed the flow restrictor before I installed it. I think it was inside the part that attaches to the water pipe coming out of the wall. Been a while.... Handheld is not improved by this but main head is pretty nice. Love my deluge!

i have no idea why you usesd the vinegar and water, i do not recall the directions saying anything like this. i just dumped the bottle in neat the intake valve and it worked, if it does not go away may have to drain and refill

there is a plastic insert in the hose which regulates the flow of the water . maybe it has something blocking the flow . take that plastic insert out . maybe that might fix your problem

Yes, mine is installed outside, but you have to make sure rainfall can't get to it. That is a mistake I made the first time I installed it. I couldn't find indoor pipes long enough to install inside so I dug a hole around where the main water comes into the house and installed it there, but I forgot about what happens in a major rain storm and the hole filled with water and ruined the device, so I bought another one and this time I put concrete blocks around the hole and made a plexiglass shield to cover the area and that has worked very well. It stays dry and I have wonderful soft water without having to lug salt bags home from home depot. Hope this was helpful.

Good morning Jonathon and thanks for the inquiry. No, this doesn't require draining. The fluid that is inside the tube is a heat transfer solution and will not freeze.Please let us know if you have any additional questions or if we can assist you further.Thanks again,Jeff CousinsOperations Manager

I used everything. You may choose not to use the bottom, but this may not be wise. Depending on how porous your soil is, and in the case of heavy rainfall, without the bottom water could seep up into the outlet, bringing some debris which could clog the outlet. Maybe that is what the makers had in mind. It takes little effort to place the bottom, so just use it.

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!

When I spoke with New Air, they told me that the only thing I would need to do is empty the water...and the unit will let you know when it needs to be emptied. There is a water plug and a hose that comes with the unit. I have not had to empty the unit yet...possibly because I have only used it for heating so far. I will know if I need to drain the unit when I use the air conditioning.

No, it should fully drain away. Perhaps there is something wrong with the connection, or the pipe is blocked?

I just push down on the side some for a few minutes. Once enough I the water I out I can then open the air plug and release the air. The water flows out thereafter!! Hope this helps.

If your are using to de-humidify, the reservior tray will need to be set up underneath the bottom or middle hose outlet in the back. Otherwise, if strictly using in AC mode, the water gets evaporated/recycled as additional coolant within the unit. We've used the unit all summer in NYC temps and humidity in AC mode and had no issues with drainage. But depending on where you're located, you may have to run the unit in humidity mode in addition to AC mode -- if so, you'll have to empty the tray every few hours or so. Hope this helps.

Hmmmm. You do need reasonable pressure to make it work. I'm concerned about your application, though. This is primarily a thing that allows you to "dump at home" where you don't have typical sewer hookups. You run the hose in the house and stick it into a convenient sewer drain. (I use a clean out.) Not sure why you would choose this if you had standard hook ups available. Does that help? It is a dandy gadget that allows me to clean and dump easily at my convenience at home on my Rv pad, Vs holding up a line at a gas station...

Unfortunately you can't. Danby will spin a good tale and say the air is humid. You can call them on 1-800-263-2629. I did. Many times. They will refer you to a service agent who will say this is normal and advise you to run two pieces of garden hose from the drain ports to a bucket. The end result will be that they wash their hands of a very poor design and do nothing for you.I no longer use my unit as it's caused more damage to wooden floors that the unit cost.So, if you want to continue using it get some garden hose and a bucket. And good luck!

We hired a professional plumber and it took him (and a helper) about couple of days to get this installed. As I understand, you need the usual hot and cold water supply pipes coming in and this is connected to the plumbing at the back of the unit. The water drain is at the bottom just like other tubs. We also hired an electrician to do the electrical connections.

Mine is quite new. I don't have a flow issue at all. I do know that the style of an old farm pump dictates a lower than normal flow. As it is not aerated, the pure water flow if faster would be quite messy. I have read on other review sites that had a similar complaint and the solution was to remove or punch a hole through the screen at the flex hose inlet on the hot side will help the hot side. It was felt that the screen holes were restricting under expansion from the heat. Please note that by opening the screen, you are allowing any potential solids that could be lurking in your pipes to enter the valve and cause leaks and/or damage. To sum it up. I happen to like the lower flow as it does look like a cool old pump. Good luck, Al

I am having the same issue with one that I installed approx two yrs ago for my Mother. It has worked well until the last two to three months, the screen looks clogged at the moment and I am trying to find out how to remove or unclog the screen. I hate to punch through it as this area is known for having stuff in the lines. Would rather not subject the faucets valves to grit if possible. Feel I have located problem but still have no solution to fix it yet.
