Question from Qlima 16500 BTU Portable Air Conditioner: Asked on 24/10/2025 What about water drain?
Hi,The Qlima AC18000Q Portable Air Conditioner uses a self-evaporative system, meaning most of the condensation is expelled with the warm air through the exhaust hose, reducing the need for manual drainage. However, if the humidity is high or the unit runs for long periods, the water tank may fill up. In such cases, you can connect a hose to the drainage port for continuous drainage, preventing the need to empty the tank manually.Thanks!
