FAQs
How to Empty the Water Reservoir on an Emerson Quiet Kool Portable Air Conditioner?
Your air conditioner might not need to have its water tank emptied at all. The Emerson Quiet Kool portable air conditioners are normally fully evaporative and do not allow water to build up.
For partially evaporative units, you can drain the water in three ways:
- The most basic procedure is to just let the water out of the drain. Simply open the drain valve and water will be removed onto the floor.
- However, a more effective way to drain the water from the reservoir is to install a drain hose on the drain pipe and let it run wherever you want.
- The most convenient one is to use a condensate pump; the pump evaporates the water collected by the AC, eliminating the need for draining through the drain valve.
