The Eva Dry website says it removes 7 liters per day and has a 2 liter receptacle. Can you connect a drain to it? Do you have to empty it every 6hours

I live in a tropical area and have it on 24x7 lately due to it's the rainy season and it's extra rainy this year. It fills the 2 liter reservoir in about 12-14hrs. You can connect a drain hose to it and I recently spoke to EvaDry's support about this. They said to purchase 1/2" ID (inner diameter) hose as it's almost impossible to find 12mm hose in the US.

Yes, you just close the spout and remove the drain plug for daily cleaning.

NO, there is no drain. By the time you need to change your mixture, there isn't but about half full, so it's not heavy to dump.

I'm sorry but it depends on the size of the room... I should tell you I have had my unit for 2 yrs and never had to drain it. With this type all the water is sent out the exhaust tube which is the second hose that goes out of your room. You will love this unit!

You would have to have a machine that empties into a utility sink- If that is the case, you simply put the filter on the end of the outflow house, and secure it with the provided "lock on" device- It's VERY easy- The lint accumulates in the bag, when full, you simply discard it.

No, I have not. I only have to empty it every two (2) or three (3) days. I do not consider that too much work.

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 bought one of these a few months ago and I called Longevity to as why it didn't have an air dryer. They said the new ones have it built inside the unit. I took the housing off the plasma cutter to see for myself and sure enough it has one inside. It does not need to be manually drained as it does it on its own. There is a tiny outlet on the bottom of the plasma cutter where the water could come out as needed.

The pouch comes partially out but is still connected to the tube. I have never tried to completely disconnect it. I don't think it is designed to be removed. I drain it after a run by turning it upside down and draining it into the sink. It seems to work okay but it is never completely dry. I wouldn't put anything but water in it.

I am using it without it. The only issue is that it will run out of liquid before you finish a full size room/charge. There is no easy way (that I have found) to switch out the wet pads and have the cleaner return to where it left off. You basically have to turn it off, change the pad, then turn it back on. When you turn it back on, it seems to start a new program rather than returning to the last place it cleaned.Also, be aware that the reservoir only works with some models of Mint 4200s. See here: http://www.robotreviews.com/chat/viewtopic.php?t=17207 I see no way to tell which version of the Mint that you are going to receive. I am using it without it.

There is a small pan at the bottom of the unit that catches the water and then the heat from the air coming off the unit, through the hoses, evaporates the water to the outside world. There is also a small drain that can be emptied to a floor drain or into a small flat pan and disposed of. I've only had it for one season and I had to drain it twice. The drain is low to the floor so a jelly roll pan of something like that works best. I use mine in a shop so it is intermittant use. For constant use the evaporation might work better??

If you do not turn on the dehumidifier function, you'll likely never have to empty the bucket. If you do turn the function on, you may have to empty it after 3-6 hours of use.

No, I refill every couple of days - also necessary to keep water fresh. Theoretically, it could run dry if left for a very long time without adding water.

I never use the drain but I do use the timer. So I set it for 3 or 4 hours and then empty it when it shuts off.

Yes you can, but it will drain really fast no even for five minutes of usage

You can connect a hose and put the hose in a drain. Never have to empty the bucket again!

This is a self evaporative unit. Water is expelled through the exhaust hose. You will only need to drain the unit if you live in a very humid climate. I'm in California, and I haven't needed to ever drain mine (used since 2010).
