Water Removal

All A/C units produce water and all portable A/C unit collect water in there “sump pans”; there are 4 (four)  different methods for evacuation,….This is again is a very important part of the decision  process, because if you are in a hot and humid climate you could be drain water a lot.

The four styles are as follows  

1. Water bucket stored in the bottom, it must be emptied by you.  Based on the heat and humidity in your area you could drain the water bucket every 2-3 hours.
2. Evaporation:  This technology recycles the water condensation to cool off the cooling coils then evaporates the water out with the exhaust air. This results in increased energy efficiency, cooling performance and reduces the need to empty the water tank. CAUTION: Under extreme humid conditions, the water condensation may collect faster than the unit can recycle. Should the built-in water tank becomes full, the compressor will automatically shut-off and water full indicator will blink. At this time, water should be emptied, which is, water vapor is exhausted along with the hot air outside 
3. Condensate Pump w/ water hose:  Some Portable A/C models come with a water pump and a small rubber hose that is factory installed in the back or front of the portable A/C unit depending on manufacture. The hose then runs inside the exhaust hose and goes into the window trim kit and is draped outside the window where the hose will drain extra water. It’s a very convenient feature to have because you never have to drain a water bucket no mater how humid it is.
4. Amcor  Namomist Technology…… Has a  condensate pump with built in water hose too, but takes the technology one step further,  it sprays the water into a fine mist  to eliminate water dripping out your window.
