6. Drainage Options
The AEOCKY ARION-001 offers multiple ways to manage collected water.
Manual Drainage (Water Tank):

- Remove the rubber stopper (if present).
- Firmly attach one end of the included drain hose to the outlet.
- Route the other end of the hose to a suitable drain (e.g., floor drain, large bucket), ensuring the hose is sloped downwards to allow gravity drainage. Do not allow the hose to kink or be elevated above the unit.
Continuous Drainage (Garden Hose Adapter):
For extended drainage paths, you can use the provided 3/4-inch garden hose adapter with your own garden hose.
- Follow steps 1-3 for continuous gravity drainage using the included drain hose.
- Attach the garden hose adapter to the free end of the included drain hose.
- Connect your garden hose to the adapter.
