How do you drain the unit when it is full?

It uses shop air pressure to drain it, Connect the drain hose, then connect the shop air and open valves. Very easy, Great unit.

The unit empties with air pressure. You pressurize the unit and fluid comes out a seperate drain hose.

Unit has a separate air connection where it pushes the used oil out. It also comes with its own drain hose and connection that you attach to drain the used oil into approved containers.

It won't get full to the top, especially if you are emptying it a few times a day. You just squeeze it a little to release the suction and pull it out!

Flush your system weekly and let it drain out of the blue tube by turning it upside down into a sink or tub. Add more water to it to get it cleaner.

No need to drain whole tank, just a little so water does not spill when top outlet is opened. If you have not flushed tank , it would be a good time to that before installing pump

There aren't any drains. It just overflows or the kids spill a bunch out when they're playing. It would probably take about 3 hours to fill to the point of overflowing. When you turn it off, the water just dumps out that way. To get it dry to store is kind of a huge pain. Basically you let all of the water drain and then blow it back up for a while.

No. You have to empty it occasionally. The air conditioner will stop working and all the lights on the front will flash when you need to empty it. The easiest way is to roll it to a stair or a door and pull the plug out of the back to drain it into a bucket. There will be a fair amount of water when you empty it, but it never leaks if you've got the plug in correctly.

I fill mine up, let it filter to the bottom and then top it off until totally full to the line at the lid. NO PROBLEM

I agree this is an issue. Sorry, I don't have the answer. Mine does drain but is much slower than when the disposer is running. It hasn't been enough to be an problem for me.

I unscrewed the plug in the back, lifted the air conditioner, and poured it into a container. Not very easy. It is quite heavy. I have read some reviews on amazon that say they attached a hose for draining. I am considering that, but I have only drained mine once in two years. It was sort of a nightmare situation, because the unit was actually leaking. My amazon review on May 15, 2014 explains that story.

If the reservoir is full, you have to hold the lid tightly or it will fall off. I just wait for it to drain, it doesn't take long, unless the filter is old.

Yes. From the manual, in the How to drain the unit section: 5. Release the Drain button, when the flow of water stops. The brewer's internal hot water tank is now empty

I'm not sure. I just got the same one. On mine. 1/2 is empty and full is full. I wish there was a way

We hooked up a clear plastic hose (from Home Depot) to a bucket on the floor. We empty it about every 8 hours or so. That way you never have to drain it, until you store it for the winter.

We live along the gulf coast of Florida. We attached a short piece of garden hose to the upper drain outlet. The hose drains into a 5 gallon bucket. We empty the bucket every few days when the unit is being used....before it fills up.

Fill it with a hose. It has a hidden drain connection also that you hook a garden hose to. It fills in 20 minutes

As Paul said, "Make sure the hose runs down below the spicket. There's no pump. Drain it into a sump pump hole (if in a basement with a pump), or, if you're running the hose out a window or into an open drain, elevate the unit above the that.

There isn't a tank. You fill the bowl manually with the foot pedal, and a harder push with the foot pedal opens the drain to flush
