3.3 Continuous Drainage Setup

For continuous operation without needing to empty the tank, you can utilize the continuous drainage feature. Locate the drain plug at the back of the unit. Remove the plug and connect the provided drain hose (or a standard garden hose) to the outlet.

Ensure the hose runs smoothly downwards to a suitable drain (e.g., floor drain, sink) to allow for gravity drainage. Avoid kinks or blockages in the hose to prevent water leakage and ensure proper operation. The hose should remain at least 3.9 inches lower than the drain port level.
