What does "bucketless drain system" mean?

7 years ago
When you say "bucketless drain system", do you mean there is no reservoir to drain, either by emptying a bucket, or through a hose? Does it have auto-drain, where the moisture goes out through the window? Where I keep my portable air conditioner, it is impossible to move it for draining (I would have to move my sofa), so I want an air conditioner that does not require me to drain any kind of water from it. I have another portable air conditioner from American Comfort, and it has a small 1/4" hose that goes from the air conditioner, out through the exhaust hose, to vent to the outside. This is where the moisture that accumulates in the air conditioner goes....no emptying of any buckets, or draining with a hose. I want an air conditioner that performs exactly the same way.

    Good afternoon,

    There is 2 options for collecting the moisture. The first one is to leave the drain holes plugged on the back of the unit and the unit will collect moisture on the bottom tray. Once the tray is full a P2 code will appear on the display. To empty the tray just unplug the bottom cap and tilt the unit backwards to drain the water. The second option is connecting the drain hose to the top plug on the back of the unit, so there is continuous draining. I hope this information was helpful. If you have any additional questions please do not hesitate to ask. Thank you for your patience.
