Do I need to empty the water daily? water coming out in the morning.

I've rarely needed to empty the water. But this is ultimately going to depend on how much you use the unit...

We live in central Florida and run our unit every night at 72 degrees for over a year and have never needed to drain it. Works great.

It depends on where you live and how humid it is and how much you run the unit. If just a little water is collecting each day, I would think once a week would be enough. Do check it regularly..you do not want it to overflow.

I would recommend you empty it every time. If I just have a small area to clean I just add enough water/soap that I think I will need.

No, and you don't have to empty it. The water is vaporized and goes out the window. My unit is about 1 foot from the wall and about 2 feet from the window exit. I aim the blower at a wall opposite from me. Works Great!

YOu should drain water from initial soak, rinse and drain once or twice a day.

Yes, no problem - it's all weather (summer weather, anyway). You can leave it out. What will happen is the basin will collect some rainwater, so each season you'd probably want to hose it down to clean it anyway.

The water reservoir is not separate from the unit itself. I use distilled water and I'm hoping that will help keep it clean over a period of time.

Thus far, I had no need to flush the system. I have a permanent set up and I simply leave the water in. I usually use up a full load of water in approximately two days.

No, you need clean it, but you do that when you take the blue water container off to fill and clean the top of the stand and where you fill the water. We use filtered water so only have to clean every couple of weeks, but the booklet says every week. Hope this helps.

Yes its normal. Just let the water run for about 5 mins and it should be good

i agree with the prevoius response. It is always preferred to have your water in the proper balance before use. You should try to maintain this throughou the season.

Yes. Always do the lower level first, and allow the next day's outflow to carry whatever got loosened up out of the pipes. Then do the upstrairs the next night. I think it is best to do these right before you climb into bed. That way, you know the bacteria have the longest possible time to work before they are flushed away by dishwashing, toothbrushing, etc.

Yes you need to drain it. If you are running it continuously and you don't drain it the water will drain onto your floor.

Initially, the water may appear cloudy - this is due to tiny air bubbles and will clear up with time and usage there is no exact time frame, rest assured it is perfectly fine and normal.

No, I refill every couple of days - also necessary to keep water fresh. Theoretically, it could run dry if left for a very long time without adding water.

Great Question......I just leave the water in the reservoir although if you are going to store it for more than a month or so I think I would just pull the reservoir out and turn the unit over so I empties. I have not found a way to get the reservoir out either.

You do not have to remove the reservoir to fill it; I just take the top cover off and pour water from a glass until the water level reaches the fill line. You do have to remove the reservoir to wash it and to remove/replace the filter; this is very easy to do. Knock on wood, I have had zero problems with the unit in the eight months I have owned it.
