How to drain your Window Air conditioner without drilling.

- I recently purchased a new air conditioner that was slinging water from the condenser fan, onto the siding of my building, causing a mess.
I placed some gauze carefully in the back of the unit, and it acted as a wick, removing excess water on humid days.
The design of these units, is to collect water in the hot condenser coil, and have the fan sling water into the coil, improving subcooling.
When the weather is humid, the condensation is collecting faster than it can be evaporated by the hot condenser, so it gets kicked out by the slinger ring in the fan.
I only use this method, because my apartment complex was not thrilled with having to pressure clean the wall recently.
hope this helps you out in some way.
My AC unit flooded after bad rains, I was going to drill a hole! 😂 Thank you! This video was SO helpful!
I did that and hit a line. That was a 500$ mistake.
@@ApEsXiT How the hell did you ruin an AC with a piece of gauze? WOW! I can't wait to hear this story.
@@pmaint1 my guy I drilled a hole in my ac and hit a coolant line.
@@ApEsXiT So you didn't use the gauze method which is what this video is all about? It says right in the title " How to drain your window air conditioner without drilling".
@@pmaint1 I was responding to the comment that says she was going to drill a hole in her ac. That's what I did back in the day. Now I have a baby wipe taped to my new unbroken ac.
This tip worked great for my AC unit that was leaking inside the house! I used three strips of paper towels like another person suggested, gave it 15 minutes to take care of the accumulated water and it’s been running fine for over an hour without any further leaking. So glad I found this video, after considering having to do what another poster suggested - taking the entire housing off the unit. Ummm, no! Happy to fix it without needing hubby’s assistance. Thank you!
Possibly the best AC hack I’ve ever seen. Simple, yet effective.
Dude, this video is a year old and still a great life-hack.
Thanks a lot man. This is precisely the fix I needed. Same issue, too much water, no drain plugs.
hahahah just did this it worked.. there was a hole on the bottom but wasn’t draining 😂 maybe clogged but the cloth is working for now
@@samuelscizz Yeah, been thinking of drilling mine, but this looks easier, and less chance of hitting a wrong something inside the box.
@@JoeZyzyx Is it ok to drill a hole in the new ac's? I have mine in a wall so I can't do this hack.
@@butterflikissies Probably better not in that case, depends on how high on the wall and how far the outside part extends. It could cause algae and mold on outside of house wall.
@@JoeZyzyx My dad just came over and we pulled the AC unit out. He drilled two holes under the bottom. So I just wait and hope that the water doesnt come into my apartment! We also put a piece of wood in the front so it lays at an angle in the AC Sleeve in the wall.
You life saver! I thought I had done something wrong. I spent like half an hour looking for some hidden condensation plug thinking maybe they put something in for shipping. Why on EARTH would there not be a built-in drain hole?!?
I probably already would have drilled a hole if I didn't forget my drill bits at work but now I will try this first.
Clever man....You could call this Wicky Leaks.
🤣 Points! funny.
I apllaud that pun sir
You are literally the smartest man who has ever lived
I will never understand why the manufacturers don't just put a drain hole in the bottom corner to begin with! Thanks for the gauze tip!
It's designed to have some puddle, fan blows it on the coils. Helps AC actually run cooler and more efficient and less energy.
But also results in tremendous mold and mildew build-up in high humidity areas.
@@morebeer7673 And what about the water noise moving around.
LG units use a sling fan that scoops up water that puddles in the cowel of the outside radiator. The water is then thrown against the radiator fins to help cool the unit. The unit will flood though if the unit isn't tilted downward on the outside about 5 degrees. It even shows in the instructions to always tilt the unit. For more modern units that don't have a drain hole on the rear of the unit the method shown in the video should work also.
@@uploadmefulMine has some water buildup in the back of it. Is this supposed to be there? Infuriatingly the unit doesn't have a drain hole so I can't easily drain it without drilling a hole in the back of it. Based on what you said I'm not sure I'm supposed to do that then.
Genius. Thank you. My window unit started making a funny noise and then all the sudden I went hey wait a minute that kind of sounds like water and then I remembered that air conditioner is usually need a drain and either the drain plug was covered up or there wasn't one. Genius, I put a little bit of gauze in there at the fork just like you said and boy it's dripping quick. It immediately started to drain it
Just saved me $300 I was going to buy a new one today bc the one I have WILL NOT drain. Thank you so much.
Thank you. Just bought one and did not know there was no way to drain it and was thinking of drilling. Tried your method and it works like a charm. I live right on the Gulf of Mexico and my LGs drain 3 to 5 gallons a day in the hot humid Summer.
Here for the second year straight. Worked like a charm both times. It got to 95+ for a week plus out here & this trick saves the day.
You had to watch the video again? You did not remember how to put gauze in it from the first year you watched it. I’m stumped
I tried this and it worked! So excited. After a few hours I turned it back on and not a single liquid noise has been heard. I’m not sure how long the gauze trick will last, but it’s working for now. Genius!
I have one LG AC with drain plug and I just pulled it out and water streamed out. The othe 4 units we have don’t have plugs and your tip works great thank you. You have perfect manicured bushes.
My upstairs neighbor’s AC unit is directly above mine and drips directly onto my AC unit keeping my unit’s pan overflowing at all times. The constant sloshing noise is so loud and keeps me up at night! The drain “holes” are so small that I can’t even fit a toothpick in them, only allowing one little drop per minute, so I’m going to give this a try! Thanks for the tip!!
Thank you so so much for your video. I adjusted my window AC this year and huge amounts of condensate water drained for some time. All of a sudden it stopped, and I don't know why. It started spraying water from the side and top. I tried different ways to drain the water, to no avail. I just found your video and really glad I did. Now I need to clean the bricks and protect them. Thank you again!
You are truly amazing sir! I have the exact 6,000 BTU unit, but mine does have a drain plug on the front end of the unit, but I must say it does not drain well from the plug line, I used double paper towels, and works like a charm! It has most definitely made the unit quieter, and it is also perfect as I live in a brick building apartment, and the landlord does not want the condensation dripping on the brick, I am so grateful to have came across this video! Even though my has the drain plug, I would prefer or all drains plugs should be on the bottom of the unit and not on the front.
I have the same exact problem. Just pruchased an 8000 BTU with a nice size drain hole that water won't drain from. Got it leveled like instructions said. I have tried tilting the side up where the water pools to force it to drain hole, still nothing. Don't want to tilt it back like the old school way, which actually helps the water to drain better, but that way rust the coils. This paper wicking was brilliant.
You sir, are a genius!
Thanks for a brilliant tip that made our A/C work beautifully!
We were in a heatwave with temps around 120° Our unit was not putting out cold air. I followed your instructions and voila-cold air!! It was actually that simple. You are a life saver!!
Thank you!
I've been having probs with my Window AC throwing water everywhere outside the past 2 months. It did get worse due to the increase in humidity here in Missouri.
It was so bad by yesterday evening that I went online in search of any possible help and lo and behold I found your video.
I cut 2 pcs from an old men's ribbed under shirt (A-shirt) last night then this morning I was able to insert both of them (1 on each end of the back of the AC). The fitting was so tight that I used some thin scissors to help push the pcs in place.
Just shocking how very quickly the 2 "wicks" went to work draining the water and dropping it straight down - even though it was unusually windy today.
And by this afternoon the window AC was running much quieter also!
Valdor, I'm so very thankful that you posted the video tip to help with this issue.
Also - Kudos for the others who posted materials they used as a wick!!
The internet is a great tool for helping others. Thank you again many times over. And big hugs to you. 😀 Posted July 29, 2024
Been kicking around the idea as to how to get this thing to drain for the last 2 weeks now. Finally stumbled upon this video and is something i can actually manage and worked well! Will be using this hack more in the future
I thought there was something wrong with my brand new AC and I was worried because it was a real b**** getting it in. Thankfully, I watched this video 24 times and now I know exactly what to do to help drain that water out. Thank you
This is the best hack ever.. I can sleep peacefully now.. God bless you man ..
I'm glad it worked for you too! 😃
Modern window units use that water to help mitigate temperature transfer by letting the fan "slap" the water onto the condenser. With that said I do love the hack, simple and effective, am gonna steal this hack for my rain bucket that gets my entire porch wet!
No one uses google anymore..... Your are 100% correct.... the water is supposed to be in there.... its part of the design to cool the condenser and fins
It’s designed to make you buy a new one every 3 years.
Man, You’re a genius. I put a bounty paper towel in. The within 3-5 mins. it drained and stopped overflowing
We tried that with our little window unit. Works like a charm. Used paper clips to hold it in place in case it storms or is a windy day.
May god bless you! I heard water in my air conditioner. I turned it off for an hour with hopes it would stop. It didn’t. Cut it back on and went to sleep. When I woke up, water leaking inside all over the floor. I can’t afford to cut the AC off it’s too hot and can’t afford another one. I placed two dryer sheets and two bounty paper towels on the back of my ac like you did with the gauze. It WORKED!!! Almost immediately! No more water. Air is colder. Thank you for this quick and easy fix!!!! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Okay, so I see a lot of the "window AC units are not supposed to drain" arguments. And while yes, they are designed to splash the water over the condenser coil to cool it, it only SLIGHTLY helps, and hurts a lot more in the long run. I collect and work on vintage air conditioners. Yes, the vintage ones have the same "slinger" on the fan as the new ones do. I have seen many units that are rusted out because the water constantly sitting in them, it rots the fins on the coils, it rots the pan, it rots the fan shroud and anything else metal inside. especially if no maintenance has been done on the unit and there is dirt or other debris as well. When restoring or servicing a unit, I always drill a drain hole in the pan from the inside out. This allows the water to drain out. Even on days where it is over 100 degrees outside, I have never had an issue with a unit overheating. It may SLIGHTLY reduce efficiency, but I have tested it and it is not much. I may test it and make a video on it in the future. Running a unit on a hot day with no water in the pan vs water in the pan does not make as much difference as they make it sound as far as pressure, power consumption, or the cooling output. If you run cool water directly from a hose over the coil, it does help reduce head pressure, and increase cooling, but a small amount of water in the pan which gets warm quite quickly does not make enough difference to justify the downsides of letting the water sit in it in my mind. Of course on a modern unit, something else will fail far before rust becomes an issue, so do what you want.
I'm still drilling mine because I have to store it away and I don't want water dripping everywhere 😂
Thank you for the explanation.
Thanks for sharing your expertise with this matter.
Thank you very much for sharing this trick, it helped drain the excess water out of my Toshiba window air conditioner.
Brilliant Idea.....I crammed a dishtowel in the bottom crevice and now its leaking like a sieve...I was Leary of drilling but this did the trick
Man, imagine my surprise when this worked?! Thank you! 💯
i was having issues cause i dont think my ac has a drain this saved me... a brilliant idea ....thank you!
Just tried this and it works great! I keep humidity gauge in house and when A/C would kick on the humidity level would go up alot! Did napkin trick and lowered humidity AND cooler air out of machine. I'm so tired of America going backwards in education and things that work getting forgotten about. Thanks for the tip....now I have a quiet A/C!
A big THANK YOU to the poster! I have a fan that is supposed to evaporate any condensation in my 2 new lg window air conditioners. Well guess what? It’s been humid out for a month and they are dripping all over the window ledges and leaving a huge trail of green. There is a drain hole with a rubber plug. I took the plug out to see if I could buy a fitting. Guess what? Nope, can’t find one that fits that particular hole (in a previous incarnation of this same ac, it had a drain hose connector, as shown in the manual! Wtheck?) I called lg, and its parent company…and they have the wrong info…No, it doesn’t take a 16mm. How do I know? I ordered one! They have ZERO correct information! I can’t believe they make this crap so hard for consumers. Ridiculous. PS, I used a cotton cording, as suggested by this gentleman in this video on my first floor ac, and it’s working, THANK YOU! Unfortunately, I have to figure out the second floor ac, as the water fall line hits another ledge. Working on that now. Again…this is ridiculous.
Thank you!! I installed a new unit last month and now it is monsoon season so the rear coils were burbling with water. First I tried wet wipes but it blew over my head that those are designed to dissolve after so long. 🤦Paper towels worked just fine, got the water level low enough for the rattling to stop within 10min!
I wish I seen this years ago!!!
I had a small window AC 5000 BTU Hair. It worked great for my room, but the water became s big issue. It was splashing water out with the air output. And I could hear water in there. I don't have tools to fill a hole in metal, but I tried tilting it outwards as much as I could but no water would drip out
It became so annoying that I just purchased a new unit, a 8000 BTU this time. And it was working fine. But I kept this small Hair unit in my boiler room to a spare, been sitting there maybe 8 years. All dusty etc etc. But I have a neighbor that isn't well, he has M.S. and he had no AC in his room so I offered him this old unit for free. But we had issues getting his small windows out, finally we got it out. So I put in the AC for him, before taping up the window I made sure it still works, it turned right on with the compressor, so taped up the window with plastic, and been working great for him....... Till the water started splashing. But before he could even complain about it. I remembered seeing this video, and tried it. First I just folded up a piece of paper towel and pushed it in there. Started dripping right away. So I replaced the paper with pieces of cloth, and they're dripping away for days now. I wish I knew this trick when I still used this AC. Then I'd never of bought a new one. But at least he's getting good use out of it now. Thanks to this awesome trick.
It's so simple in hindsight that I feel stupid for not thinking of it myself. Lol
I just did this to my window unit. It's been raining here so I couldn't tell if my window unit was draining or not and I just installed this yesterday. I did the same thing you did and almost immediately the water started dripping from the gauze.
Because of the way the unit is mounted on the inside (Magic Mount), the unit doesn't tilt.
Thank you for sharing your idea!!!!
Genius! I just tried it on the air conditioner we just installed yesterday. My husband was going to drill into the bottom of it. I'm glad I saw your video 👍
Yay I'm glad it worked for you too! 😀
Thanks for this tip! I tried other materials first such as cotton T-shirt strips, terry cloth towel strips, paper towel strips. Nothing works as well as thick gauze pads. They just need changed monthly.
Humid climates will grow serious amounts of mold and bacteria concoctions in the water in just a few weeks. Not only does it smell nasty, it's not healthy. This crud will mix with airborne debris such as bugs, pollen, dust, dirt, weeds and tree seeds, grass clippings, etc, which will also sling with the water and will clog the coils. So much for that small efficiency gain!
You only need to use the gauze solution for a year, then the warranty runs out (on most consumer units). After the warranty is up, just remove the screws on the sides, and bend the metal a little out of your way to get a lay of the land in the pan. Then carefully drill some 1/4" holes in the deepest part of the pan, perhaps in the corners, as far away from the coils and pipes as you can see. If you cannot see where you are drilling from all sides, don't drill there! You do not want to poke into a pipe or any part of the coil. Not only is this dangerous, it will ruin your unit instantly.
Great tip I just bought a 15k unit and its sometimes here been triple digits here in texas summer. I need my ac to drain better this i a great tip as my other unit dripped into my sill and was not going outside . This is great tip glad I found this video.
I used a used dryer sheet and it works just as good. Thanks for this video!
Thank you so much for your video! I learned the hard way when years ago I drilled a hole and must have hit the line carrying the coolant which resulted in $300 down the drain. Since then I have tried to buy units that came with drain holes but they appear to recently become extinct. I have been eyeing an AC that has a lot of reviews complaining about the water accumulating. I could not get myself to buy it until I saw your video. Thank you so much!
In order to hit the highest energy star efficiency ratings, they intentionally keep a little bit of water in the pan that is flung onto the cooling fins. As this evaporates off the fins it provides additional "free" cooling without using any extra energy.
@@BoopSnoot It also backs up too far and rots the window sill.
@@JoeZyzyx If it's a GE,you got that freaking right,leaks down window sill down the lower wall & floor & carpet under it ...had this new unit almost 7 months,never had this kind of problem with any unit but this one...its still leaking almost 2 months now...I have 2 tall garbage cans under it,side by side...I have ended up over time doing the pan tablets in the a/c 7 times...still no luck,keeps me busy about 3 to 4 times a day siphoning trash cans into 2 jugs and dumping in the sink drain...so aggravating...I can't buy another one...and it is leaning just the right amount on the outside...what is the freaking lousy problem...I want answers,I can't afford this garbage GE a/c...I've even tried this cloth in the hole,sure water is coming out of it good but still coming inside too...it never stops...
@@wandastevens3183 Yes, it's GE.
Just got our new AC yesterday..we used it last night and same situation occured..thanks for the info..really useful tips for us
Thank You Thank You... U Should be rewarded by the Air conditioner companies !! My rv window air conditioner brand new... slung water out the front cover !! Not a humidity issue.. rain blowing in the vents.. the same air conditioner in Florida under a patio awning did not have the problem. The ac manufacturers should be punished by a recall. Thanks again..
This video is number one to me best ac drainage video out there I did it and watched the water run out there
I used a Lysol wipe. It worked great! Thank you!
This video just helped me as of july 2024
😊 Yessss!! I agree. Came home to a/c water on the floor in the living room and immediately grabbed the instruction manual. Then went to TH-cam... Did this.....Hunni that water is dripping outside something fierce! So happy that I tried this 1st.....will do this from now on and change out the gauze as needed!! This is the best hack ever. My mom was so happy. 😊
THIS!! I couldn't believe it was that easy. YOU'RE AMAZING
Thank you for your kind words! I'm glad it helped!
This works perfect, I was worried I might need to leave a little water but I see that this works fine with yours so I’m good to go
You are amazing! Thank you so much!! My window ac started spitting out water and it was very noise! And I saw in the back it was filled with water, I did exactly what you said because thankfully I had the same gauze on hand at home and it worked BEAUTIFULLY!! Thank you once again!!
I'm glad that it worked for you too! Yay!
Thank you for this! I used wet wipes instead since I don't have a gauze at the moment. Worked pretty well.
Genius! Pure Genius! Going to try this on my unit tomorrow afternoon!
Thank you. I have been mopping up water in my house because of this problem. It runs on to the floor. I am praying this works. I will give update.
Thanks for this tip, helped me out tonight, no power from Ida, window unit has been only thing cooling us down, but started spitting water tonight. Good temporary fix until I can work on it during the daylight
Wishing you the best. If you do drill a drain hole, be sure to steer clear of the refrigerant lines.
@@Boxfan2008definitely, I think I'm going to just take it apart and clean it good, thinking some debris is inside the tray area. Have power back so may try and mess with it tomorrow
I know everyone has said this but THANK YOU! My new window AC was making my room a cold swamp. Stupid slinger systems >.>
I am guessing mine has a drain hole. I can feel water beneath. That said this has been a very humid day. I placed a wick made of paper towel folded over several times and have about 5 inches of it hanging out now. I put a bunch of staples in the outside part and lower down to keep the paper towel hanging low. Now that its wet that's not a problem. THX for the tip! Its dripping like crazy now. I will go out and check it later. THX. Again for the tip!❤
Thanks for the tip, using someone else's AC unit and I didn't want to drill holes in it
I'm so happy I came across your video. Thank you so very much. God bless you!
Thanks a bunch! I live in Montreal and its humid as hell in summer! I was worried about the water sounds. Now my AC is draining the water out, hopefully one gauze is enough. I might add more tomorrow... Not only is it humid, but it rains a lot too.
Such a great tip! It helped us empty our travel trailer wall ac while we were in vacations! Thank you so much.
Hey bro! You're a life saver! Tried this on my AC and it works like a magic. More power to you! 🙏
This is a life saverrr. Was about to go back to the shop where I got my unit from. I guess that wouldnt help since theyll probably replace the same unit with a self evaporating ac. This remedy does the trick! Thank you!
You're welcome! Glad it helped!
Anong ginamit niya sir? Diko ma intimfihan masyado e
I don't understand
Why they don't account for this known issue but I thank you for this idea!!
This is a great hack and i had all sorts of extra medical supplies laying around. Thank you
This is a Life Pro Tip, thank you buddy!
Just tried this gauze wick trick, worked instantly, thanx bud
I've been drilling holes in every a/c I've ever purchased and this year I goofed. A brand new $450 unit, I drilled a hole without taking the shroud off to see where the coil was and I drilled right through the coil with the refrigerant in it. Nice blast of coolant and money down the drain. Guess I won't do that ever again. I will take you advice and maybe use something that I can poke in the entire length of the unit so it takes more out faster. That dribbling sound can dry you crazy after a while. Thanks for the advice.
You do know the water is supposed to be in there, its part of the design. Google it! the fan slings the water on the fins to cool down the unit. once again google it, im reading it right from the GE website
I see this video was some time ago so unfortunately you probably won't see this but I wanted to tell you Thank you I appreciate the info more than you know!
Thank you, Chris! I'm glad it helps you!
@@Boxfan2008 Awe glad you got my appreciation! Definitely helped because I'm in an upstairs Apt and lately my window AC unit stinks when condenser kicks on but I can't be out there on a ladder fiddling around because I'm scared of heights. I can handle it long enough to use your method though.
Thank you! We just bought a large Toshiba window A/C for our living room. After a couple of days, I could hear water trickling when I turned it off. I peaked inside and saw water collecting in the bottom, even though I made sure it was tilted back. I looked in the manual, it said nothing about the drain hole. I just inserted a gauze patch, worked well! I couldn't use a fork though, the space between the casing and the condenser is too small for this particular AC, but I found a smaller tool to use. Why they don't have a drain hole in the proper place is beyond me.
It is collected for cooling, if you look through the bent slots you will see fan blades with a ring attached to the tip of each blade being dragged through the collected water kicking it up to cool external components. That in turn aids interior room cooling
Mannnnnn you the best. My wife almost blame me for it stop working. 😂😂😂😂
Hey GREAT IDEA. I just did that, and it's now draining lol
this is genuinely a brilliant solution.
Very ingenious!!! You even could have used the long side of that gauze...but it doesn't matter. Way you have it works very well.
Sir you are a genius!!! Saved my time and work! Great life hack👍
omfg you are amazing! i was getting a bad smell coming from my window ac unit, and it was stagnant water in the trey. little spraying of vinegar and the wicking and no more smell! you rock:)
Thank you for the idea, Was wondering how to drain the water, You are a lifesaver
0:55 My man asked if I can see and he made me see. The camera work was breathtaking, thank you
Weiss there was a a better like button!! Worked immediately sound changed water stopped dripping g on the and threw coil
Imagine my shock when this worked...THANK YOU! I have three units (all are 5+ years old), a 5000, an 8000, and a 151000BTU and only one of them has a drain hole. This trick is working perfectly!
Thank you so much!! It worked for me. I used a pamper baby wipe since it’s almost cloth like and strong lol and cut it into shorter strips and placed 3 strips one in each corner and one in the middle and it helped drain faster all the water my ac had and this water was also causing it to drip inside. Amazing hack! Thank you!! 🤗🥰
Yay im glad it worked for you too!
That's good to know! I don't have a baby in my house but I do have a ton of puppy pads and will try that next!
Love this. It has rained on and off for a week straight, and in between rain its humid as satan's armpit and hot as hell. My poor window AC was doing fine until this. Now its dripping inside and outside, despite being tilted back the appropriate amount, because it's just overfull of water. Hopefully this will help drain all that excess and get it back to normal.
I silicon glued a piece of plexiglass over my top AC vent for the same reason in Florida. Just can't see a good enough reason for 5-6 feet of rain per year coming through those top openings. Maybe just that will suffice for your situation.
Thanks for the video this worked perfectly never though a simple paper towel would do the trick, saved me a lot of time& work i was going to remove unit drill holes ect , but you the Man thanks again!!
I'm glad it worked for you!
Over time you may find paper towels don't wick the water as well, which is why i switched to gauze which is a bit more porous.
Just did this. The water is coming out so good. Thank you!!!!
Genius. This guy's got the goods. I'm gonna do it right now. Thank you very much.
Omg wow, I have had this problem with a couple of my AC units this is a great idea very simple I'm going to have to try this thank you!! Update I had to return to thank you so very much for making this video I had no idea that it would work this well you have solved my AC problem and I am very grateful this is a wonderful little hack that makes a big difference!!!!! Thanks again
You are a genius 😊 thanks from Venezuela.
Ive been doing this for years but i just did it with 2 4x4's and omg gauze is king.
*Great and Easy to instal **Fastly.Cool** Low noisy*
Appreciate your tip, I’m doing this same method in 2024, thank you 😊
Yesssss!! As of yesterday, Monday July 15th, 2024. And it really works. 😊
I was so worried and disappointed after getting brand new unit but not satisfied with its performance now i got the answer of all my worries .thanks man you're a hero 🙏 there was soooo much water in it and get instant relief from yours tip . Have a great life and health.
The best and easiest way ever! Thank you!
Dude science class 101 I'm about to try that now 😅
Thank you . This actually worked .
Thank you for this tip! i almost drill my AC because water is splashing everywhere....
This is why I really now realize I made a good choice in buying a GE 70 to 73% of people who bought them we’re happy I was hoping for a higher percentage. However I don’t use all the technical garbage I just use the temperature up and down and the fan speed And mine does come with a drainage plug that you can pull out at any time. It states clearly in the book that leaving the plug it in makes it more energy efficient however it still can be taken out it says to reduce noise if it was going to make the system work that much less effective, I’d be willing to believe they wouldn’t of put one in to begin with not to mention all the horrible stories. I’ve heard about black and green mold collecting like never before because these new systems are supposed to be more energy, efficient by throwing warm water that staying in a pan over the summer throughout the entire unit Bronchitis anyone
Which model was that? Just curious
Synthetic crafting felt available at sewing/craft store works great and does not rot like cotton will. I use it under my African violets plus a piece of synthetic yarn up through the pot as violets like water from the bottom except when you need to flush salts every now and then.
Great idea. New ac bad design. Expensive mold machine in 2 years
You’re truly a life saver man!
Wow that wicked faster than I expected.
I can't believe it worked thanks so much 👊
