NewAir
High Condensate Production / Poor Evaporation
Excessive water collects in the internal tank very quickly; unit shuts off often to be drained.

Possible Causes
Very high room humidity, failed condensate re-evaporation system, blocked hot air exhaust, faulty internal condensate pump (if equipped)
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the unit before servicing internal components.
Steps:
- Reduce humidity load: Close windows and doors to prevent humid outdoor air from entering. Use the unit's dehumidify mode if available.
- Check exhaust: Ensure the exhaust hose is properly installed and not kinked. Poor exhaust can reduce self-evaporation efficiency.
- Inspect re-evaporation tray: Some NewAir portables use a splash or re-evaporation tray on the condenser fan. Make sure it is not missing or damaged.
- Internal pump: If equipped, test the condensate pump for proper operation and replace if it does not move water as designed.
- Continuous drain: Set up a continuous drain hose to a floor drain to avoid frequent manual draining.
