WATER CONDENSATION DRAINAGE

When there is excess water condensation inside the unit, the Portable Air Conditioner stops running and shows an error code "P1" with an alarm. This indicates that the water condensation needs to be drained using the following procedures:

Manual Draining in Cooling, Dehumidifying and Auto Modes

Water may need to be drained in high humidity areas.

  1. Unplug the unit from power source.
  2. Place a drain pan under the lower rubber drain plug. See diagram.
  3. Remove the drain plug cap.
  4. Water will drain out and collect in the drain pan.
  5. After the water is drained, replace the drain plug cap.
  6. You can now turn on the unit.

Continuous Draining in Dehumidifier Mode

While using the unit in dehumidifier mode, continuous drainage is recommended.

  1. Unplug the unit from power source.
  2. Remove the upper drain plug cap. Some residual water may spill so please have a pan to collect the water.
  3. Connect the drain tube (included) to the upper drain plug. See diagram.
  4. The water can be continuously drained through the drain tube into a floor drain or bucket.
  5. Replace the drain plug cap.
  6. You can now turn on the unit.

IMPORTANT: It is NOT recommended to connect the drain hose for continuous drainage while the unit is switched ON in air conditioning cooling mode. Doing so can reduce the cooling efficiency of the Portable Air Conditioner. Only drain the water condensation when the unit is switched off. Continuous drainage is only suitable when the unit is set up in Dehumidifier mode.

Honeywell HF8CESWK5 Questions and Answers

Find answers or Ask a question.
  • Total questions: 1
  • Questions unAnswered : 1

#1 What about ventilation?
Portable ACs use either a single hose or dual hose design. In cooling mode, single hose PACs remove hot air from the room, and then expel the hot air out the one hose. In cooling mode, dual hose PACs bring in air from outside through one hose, and expels warm air outside through the second hose. In both cases cold air in cooling mode flows through the unit's vents into the room.

#2 How do I know how many BTUs are required to cool my space?
A BTU (British Thermal Unit) is a standard unit of energy that measures the amount of heat per hour an air conditioner removes from a room. The larger the room, the higher the BTU requirement. Below, are some general guidelines. However other factors – such as the number of open doorways, a south-facing window with continuous sunlight, or a room with high occupancy – can require a unit with a higher BTU rating than the average guidelines.

#3 Are there certain types of windows that are not suitable for PACs?
Casement windows are quite unique in design and functionality so PACs do not have window kits that can completely cover the gap for these types of specialty windows.
