My portable a/c unit for our bedroom is producing more water than it ever has. We use to empty the tank maybe once a summer and once I hooked it up this year I am emptying it every three hours. Confused and I need help! It is on the correct mode of a/c and produces good cooling. A thought I had was to disconnect the one duct from the window and plug the unit hole also. Only leaving the discharge tube out the window. The unit has the ability, I believe, to draw air in from the back side of the unit. Is this an option?

got mine a month ago and havent had to emty it untill yesterday. i woke up to it off and the red light flashing indecating it was full of water. so i emtyed it and turned it back on. 2 to 3 hrs later it was full again. did it all day untill i went to the store and got a hose and put the unit on top of my dresser and attached the hose so it can drain itself out the window. i keep checking on it but it is working just fine now. just looks stupid stitting on my dresser. any one know what is going one with these units???

Don't know if your still having the problem but my air con unit is like yours portable and i have it standing in my room, i had it for a year and no water at all and then all of a sudden i am emptying it every 3 or 4 hours after looking at manuals and what not i realised that it may have been the hot weather we were having. Recently we have had a heatwave and humidity levels have been very high, this can affect the amount of water produced my your air con and is why you may need to empty it more also air con units have different specs for different countries and in the UK very rarely do we get high humidity and heatwave so air cons have to work harder to keep rooms cool and as a result create more water so basically has the weather where you are been warmer and more humid? if yes this is most likely what is causing the excess water. Hope this helps.

well im in Texas, USA and the summers here are allways in the 100's. had my ac sence april 30, 2009 and it has been in the 100's for about 3 weeks now. humidaty hasnt changed either. no reason for it to do it. called company and the said it shouldnt be doing it that much at all. gave me number to there approved waranty repair shop near me and i called them and the person who answerd hasnt heard of anything like that either. will probably take it in wed.

now i have been searching and reading to find out where the water normally goes in the first place. i read that on one unit it works like this. water gathers in the drainage chamber and then is sqirted onto the compressor turning into steam. then the steam is blown out the exgast. my guess is the sqirt mechanisum stoped working.
