I’m in an airbnb with unhelpful hosts- the portable Logik GLP-09 Port aircon has been leaking everywhere- i have it on Full Heat setting- there seems to be 3 drain ports- top and bottom ones have black rubber caps on them but the middle one doesn’t this is where the water is pouring out of. Does anyone know it also needs a cap and should they all remain sealed? - i am going to drain them all now and hope i will not need to clean up a floor full of water for the umpteenth time.

[@TomLeeman]

If you can find something that will fit the diameter of those plugs you could probably push it in there like a small earplug or something small good luck thanks for watching

I hate this AC unit with a passion. Have TOSHIBA RAC-PD0812CRRC and gone through 3 of em in 15 years. My 3rd one right now won't stop having to be drained from the upper valve or it will spit up water from the top. I have no clue what to do. I live in a place that has very little humidity, ugh. If anyone can recommend a better brand/model, PLEASE do!

[@prisoner_of_hope8386]

Great video! But oh my gosh! I forgot about draining. We never drained it and we used it for about 2 months in 2023 and 2022. Will it grow mold?! Now I am scared. I live in New York, so humidity is not a big deal, and it has never overflowed. But it shut off spontaneously twice, so maybe that's why. Eeekk

[@TomLeeman]

I don’t know if it would have mold in it, but you can just rain it out and maybe when it runs it also helps to evaporate some of it

[@Slowpo-ze1ue]

Most of the time the water inside will evaporate…if for some reason is too much water it will stop working until you remove the water. You don’t have nothing to worry

[@prisoner_of_hope8386]

[@doubllechief6926]

I didn’t even know you were supposed to drain these units, I thought that was only for the Dehumidifier mode. I just checked the drains on my unit and nothing came out and I’ve had it for a few years. Does that mean I’ll need to try and drain it more often after applying this chemical?

[@TomLeeman]

If you’re in a super dry place with no humidity, you won’t get a lot of water but if you’re in Florida like we are may have to drain every day. Good luck stay cool thanks for watching.

[@yellowbird5411]

I had bought one for my tenant, but did not realize it needed draining. I didn't know what didn't know. So after paying my handyman a hefty amount to pick one up, buy some wood reinforcers for the vent pipe, unpack it, etc., he realized about the drain. He was really mad. So he took it back, but that whole activity was costly. The location of placement would not have been conducive to his moving it around, and unscrewing these caps and stuff as he is handicapped. So, placement and ability to drain them is important. I have a de-humidifier, and I have to empty it three times a day, and for me that is no problem. You live and learn.

[@TomLeeman]

We are in florida very humid had same problem good luck thanks for watching

[@irenebrice133]

He should get a self-evaporating portable ac, you only need to drain it at the end of the season and there is barely any water.

[@manuelguerrero10]

No es necesario drenarlo, el aire se drena por si solo, esa agua la vaporiza y sale por la tubería que saca el caliente

[@liiaharmon4677]

Mine came with a rubber plug tethered to the upper drain but there wasn’t a cap and nothing comes out. The bottom one has a hose in it but again, no cap came with it. It flooded the corner of my bedroom and no water was in the drain hose, in fact the drain hose had a little lint in it and was dry! (Not enough to plug it just a tiny bit) but no water. Can’t find what it’s coming from. Pretty sure this thing is just a POS

[@TomLeeman]

It must be coming off the coils, but they’re supposed to drip down into the one bottom drain. I can’t figure out why that would be doing that.

[@amnahamdani7031]

Hi, so the cap on my drainage area is missing/I don’t have it. I tried using a hose cap but it keeps dripping. What should I use to keep the bottom drainage hole closed? thanks

[@TomLeeman]

There should’ve been a small plug that goes into it so if you could measure the diameter of that and then find something that you could step stuff in there good luck thanks for watching

[@randallsnell5767]

If you have much at all coming out the bottom plug, or just dripping out the bottom, check for the factory suction line insulation coming unwrapped and allowing condensation to form. Re-wrap the insulation and secure it with a zip tie or two. You should have a hose into a bucket attached to the upper plug. Don't try to take the back cover off without watching one of the videos on it.

[@TomLeeman]

Excellent tips and information. Thanks for watching.

[@tinadavis566]

I have a cap for the top plug but the bottom plug the maintenance man talked about with my warranty probably the other plug-in throw it out.. so now I'm noticing it is leaking a little at the bottom of the indoor air conditioner. Any suggestions. I don't really understand what you're saying in your comments I'm a woman and I'm not to savvy with this air conditioners.

You inadvertently saved my butt. I couldn't figure out why my AC unit was leaking; turns out the plug had popped loose. Because it's so low to the ground I didn't even notice there was a plug there, and this thing came without the screw-on caps so it's just the plug all by itself.

I have 2 of these and never needed to drain them until last week. My 2yr old 8000 btu unit sounded like an aquarium. I drained 1 gallon from the top plug.. I then installed the hose and ran it into a 2.5 gallon jug. It was completely full within 24 hours. It's cooling fine and it has been 90 to 106 outside so I think it's just working hard. My 3 yr old 10,000 btu had no water in it when I tried to drain it. Hope this helps.

I don't know if this is okay (due to high level of humidity)!! Because i kept without a drain for only one day then it showed P1 code (it means the tank is full and need to be drained) .. anyway now with a short angle to the back and a hose to a tank, everything working great.

I have the Toshiba portable air conditioner: RAC-PD1313CWRU. I ran it for ~ 3 hours when we first installed it, and it leaked gallons of water during that time. The top drain has the hose attached and nothing came out of it, so I guess the water came from the bottom drain. I turned it off & haven't tried to use it again since. We can't figure out what we did wrong. Any suggestions of what to check.

[@TomLeeman]

Usually if it fills with water, it automatically shuts down. It shouldn’t be leaking. It should only have water coming out. If you unscrew the plug you have to make sure that that plugs in and screwed on tight on the bottom.

That's all the water in there? After running for like 16 hours? I bought the 6,000 BTU model for $319 at Home Depot and they accidentally gave me the 8,000 model which normally costs $399. I just turned it on for the first time and am going to run it for a bit, although I am going out of the house. It says it will beep 8 times and shut off when it needs to be emptied, so I'll see how long that takes. So I'm going to turn it off and run it again when I get home. I hope it will last at least 8 hours.

[@TomLeeman]

Good luck let us know how it works. Thanks for watching.

[@SCARFACE3387]

You must connect the drain hose from the top to the bottom. The same device evaporates the water and works better because the coil below is hot and the water that comes out from above is cold.

[@SCARFACE3387]

Below they have a bench that throws the water into the coil to evaporate the drained water.

[@TomLeeman]

Interesting take will have to check that out

[@emmanuelpressesport6072]

Wait what?I have this Model # PX0811CWRU put the hose on the top and a huge bin bucket. The hose it comes with is not long enough to go from top to bottom. The instructions did not mention any of that hose connection 1. What exact long hose should I get to connect top to bottom? thanks

[@SCARFACE3387]

I got one at Home Depot and connected the top to the bottom and I never have to drain the water because it comes out in the form of steam as I mentioned through the large hot air tube.

[@SCARFACE3387]

It's just that you can hear the sound of water dripping into the coil. It's normal.

Not sure if you rge answer to my question. I have a similar air conditioner with the sane tubes for draining. It has been crazt humid recently maybe only one or two days this week. I have had to empty both drains everyday as I have water on the floor underneath the air conditioner everday. The drains drain a lot of water daily. It was barely humind, I just had air conditioner mainly to cool the room. Anyways any ideas why there is so much water daily? It could be leaking from somewhere. Someone said it could be clogged. I tried to unscrew the back, but unsure to even see if they are clogged

[@TomLeeman]

I do believe that one is the humidifying and one is from condensation on the coils so you could put tubes on both of them leading into a bucket and then empty the buckets or just drain the machine I know in Florida I had to drain it every day is it so humid here so very humid area that may be the case.

[@ianmackinnon2427]

You don't actually have to drain it if it doesn't fill up, when it's not to humid it's able to get rid of the water by splashing it on the hot condenser, evaporating it and sending it outside making the unit more efficient

I believe one is for condensation of the coils and the other is for dehydration. Good luck stay cool.

I’m in an airbnb with unhelpful hosts- the portable Logik GLP-09 Port aircon has been leaking everywhere- i have it on Full Heat setting- there seems to be 3 drain ports- top and bottom ones have black rubber caps on them but the middle one doesn’t this is where the water is pouring out of. Does anyone know it also needs a cap and should they all remain sealed? - i am going to drain them all now and hope i will not need to clean up a floor full of water for the umpteenth time.

I have a carrier brand a/c, but it seems like they are all OEM, i did notice a Midea brand a/c identical to mine. What i want to know is what is the different between the top drain hose and bottom one, and can you just connect a hose and lead it to the drain, because my room is very hot, about 35c sometimes, a 5 litres container fills up in about 8 hrs, is this normal. is it best to leave some condensation water in the a/c. thanks

[@TomLeeman]

Yes, you could connect that top drain directly into a bucket we’re in Florida and it’s super humid here so we have to drain it every day. The bottom one I put a sheet tray under it. Good luck thanks for watching.

[@LilacDiesel-z6o]

I didn't know it had a drain lol

[@TomLeeman]

Yeah, if you used it a couple times you have to check and see if there’s any water in there. Good luck thanks for watching.

Good luck and stay cool this summer. Thank you for watching.

Sorry guys ... that little amount of water is what escaped while removing and putting drain plugs . You should know that the more water removed from the air the cooler it feels, which means that any air conditioner is capable to act as a dehumidifier: and for the Toshiba to act as such, one needs to use Cool Mode and Hook up the drainage tube to the upper hole using 1-2 gallon bucket to catch it WHILE the Toshiba is Running! You can expect 1 pint+ per hour if you live in the south.🙂

[@TomLeeman]

This definitely sucks water out of the air and it has a control setting to dehumidify but just putting it on cool pools a lot of water I had to drain it every day thanks for the tips and good luck with your AC

[@ianmackinnon2427]

Every air conditioner is a dehumidifier, if it doesn't fill just leave the water in it and it will splash on the hot condenser, evaporating it sending it outside and making the unit more efficient

[@derejfirde9235]

@@ianmackinnon2427 Are you saying that you can just leave both of these holes closed up and it will just send the evaporated water out the window?

[@milesofwander3213]

I’ts very humide in my house, i ran the deshumydifyer all night… but theres’ almost no water coming out.. is it normal?

[@rachelmichaels2108]

I’m in the south and even after a few months mine had little water in it. If it dries the air and produces water, what does the Dry setting do? The same just better at it?

[@Alicia-sq8xh]

Great video, thank you this really helped me.

[@TomLeeman]

Glad to hear it! Stay cool this summer

[@GS-st9ns]

Excellent excellent. With the horrible heat and humidity now, my two drain hoses have to remain open with a heavy towel underneath. One of them filled up so bad I had to carry The towel in a bucket

[@TomLeeman]

I would just try to use the bucket if you could or you can put a sheet pan underneath it to catch the water

[@GS-st9ns]

@@TomLeeman That's good to know. I also bought a hose to fit the nozzle for constant drainage into the bucket. 🤟

[@TomLeeman]

@@GS-st9ns that is a great idea. That way you don’t have to. Keep checking it every day. Just have to drain the bucket. Good luck thanks for watching. Stay cool.

[@artbart5484]

@@GS-st9ns In the same situation its my top drain plug what hose did you buy? Any hose?

[@donealyoung3067]

I just started using mine last night, And want to know how often should I drain the bottom ? The top one has the draining tube in

[@TomLeeman]

We were in Florida so we drained it every other day because it’s really humid here. You’ll just have to check it after a day or two.

[@3yolafeddy654]

Make sure you vacuum out all 3 filters every 2 weeks! These units cost a lot of money and need care. If you don’t vacuum it out on schedule, dust bunnies will completely take over the inside of the unit and you will be chasing overheating issues for ever!!!😂 every time the season is over, I literally open my shell of the unit and clean up the giant dust bunnies that grow inside 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@meridithmalone5389]

Super helpful, thank you!!

[@TomLeeman]

You are welcome thanks

[@Chillandsleepy]

After I drain my air conditioner do I need to put water inside

[@TomLeeman]

No, you don’t put water in these. Good luck. Thanks for watching.

[@xRanada]

mine just beeps constantly

[@TomLeeman]

Make sure both drains are empty

[@wendyjose4874]

I did the same and nothing came out 😢

[@TomLeeman]

That’s good if nothing comes out that means it was no condensation in there. Stay cool this summer. Thanks for watching.

[@jasminemcgee10]

mine doesn't produce any water? and i use it...

[@TomLeeman]

It must not be that humid where you live. Just check it every couple days to make sure thanks for watching.

[@petermpicard]

I think there is three air filters!?!?

[@TomLeeman]

Possibly
