Question: After several weeks, The H-8 code came on and I drained the machine.  Now the code comes on every few hours.  It isn't set on dehumidify. ?
Document: Our building's central air fizzed in the middle of a(very humid) night...we woke up to a reading of 96% (yech) on the humidistat. I turned on the the KY-80 and it had the humidity down to 84% in 2 hours before shutting off. I shut off the machine, drained the water into a bucket, turned the AC back on. It got the humidity down to 68% over the next 3 hours and has been fine since...no shut-off.3)I have taken another reviewer's suggestion and duct-taped AC filter replacement material (available on Amazon or any hardware store)over the lower intake vents to help keep the coils cleaner (there are 2 removeable/cleanable filters on the upper vents).Below is the original review from last year:====================================================================================================================This is my 2nd Portable AC...I wrote an extensive review about the first one I bought in 2006 that goes into details about the problems with all PAC's...so understand that my first experience set the bar pretty low.
I've had this unit for about a month and now that it's getting hot and humid, the flaws in the unit design are becoming more and more apparent. On a positive note, it cools very quickly and very well, though I do have it in a very small office. It is a loud machine; certainly too loud to have on if you are using the telephone.The unit has a very small footprint, however that size comes at a price. The unit is not capable of functioning for more than an hour in hot and humid conditions without being drained and the emergency storage tank is tiny.
This unit comes with a decent fan option. The AC is loud and the unit needs to be drained of water frequently or it starts making a lot of rattling noises and turns itslef off when the water level gets too high. There is no easy way to drain the unit and its not easy to set it up in the window either. I would reccommend going with a window unit instead.
This company requires you to mail the unit back to the factory, a huge job considering the weight of the unit (50 pounds?) and its size. This is hardly an easy or convenient way to obtain repairs, and of course requires you to go without the unit for an extended period of time. If you ever need to drain the water, you have to pick it up and set it on a table of some sort in order to get enough clearance to put a pan or bucket under it. Paying several hundred dollars for a unit that lasts for just 8 months of use is a Bad Deal.
Dry mode is exceptionally quiet.In it's cool mode you cannot hear it from outside the room you're in, so you definitely do not have to worry about disturbing the neighbors. I would say it's about as loud as any typical window unit air conditioner, but it does have a machine-like sound, just the sound of air blowing through it. :)7. How often have you had to empty the water tank?I've had this unit about a week now, and I've never had to empty it.8.
We eventually had to set the unit on top of his dresser and hooked up a drain hose to a bucket on the floor. He has to empty the bucket every day or two. I'm pretty perplexed at how much water this unit produces. We don't even live in that humid of a region. I admit that if I knew by choosing this unit as his birthday gift, I'd be giving my son a daily chore to dump a bucket full of water, I would have chose a different brand.
IS THE INSTALLATION EASY OR HARD?First of all installation is Extremely simple. I'm an amateur when it comes to set ups, but this air conditioner only took about 2-3 minutes to set up, and it Easily rolls from room to room.I did not even have to screw the window kit into the window, because closing the window on top of it worked just fine!Not screwing it into the window allows me the ability to easily take the window kit out of the window and put it into any window in the house.
I let it sit for two to four hours.&#34; Her response is putting me on hold once again. Obviously, no one is having problems after waiting the golden time, so this is a pretty unexpected turn of events for her. When she comes back, she offers to sell me a more expensive unit that I could probably trust more to work when it arrives. Say, what?That's why you put me on hold? So you could ask a superior or ANYONE near you who might have an answer for &#34;What do we do when the AC unit doesn't work?&#34; OH!
Every night of operation, with the windows open, the house interior temp was 71-75, the isolated, closed 288 sq. ft room was 81+ at 4 a.m. after 168 hours of continuous operation on the lowest setting and the room was too uncomfortably warm to sleep in.Perhaps in a much smaller room, with not quite so hot outside temps or a different window setup the unit might work well enough.I had no problem with the drain as after week of operation there was only about 2 tablespoons of water in the tank and most of it dribbled out on my foot when moving the unit out of the house.
I purchased the SoleusAir KY-80 as a birthday gift for my son because his room tends to get the hottest in the house during the summer months. He was thrilled. The unit did a good job of cooling his room. The next day my son informed me that within a few hours the unit started sounding like it was gurgling. I said that it was supposed to evaporate the water, but he said he had to drain the water every few hours or it would gurgle loudly. I told him that can't be right...I have a large portable unit that I've used for years (diffent brand)and have never had to drain the reservoir.
Answer: If the weather is very humid, it may be exceeding the device's ability to self-evaporate the moisture.  Try elevating the unit onto a sturdy platform (about 12") and, using the little black hose that attaches at the bottom of the unit, drain the water directly into a bucket (it will fill a 2 gallon bucket in about 5 hours, so you have to watch out for overflow).
