Dehumidifier bucket fills too quickly and needs to be emptied multiple times per day.

Safety first: Unplug before moving the unit or connecting hoses.

• Step 1 – Check humidity setting: Ensure the dehumidifier is set to a reasonable target (45–55% RH) rather than continuous mode.
• Step 2 – Use continuous drain: If available, connect a drain hose to the rear drain outlet and route it to a floor drain to avoid frequent bucket emptying.
• Step 3 – Reduce moisture sources: Seal obvious air leaks, close windows, and reduce open water sources (like uncovered sump pits).
• Step 4 – Evaluate capacity: Compare the unit’s pint-per-day rating to the size and dampness of the area. A very wet basement may require a higher-capacity AIRCARE dehumidifier or multiple units.

Frequent bucket filling is not a fault if the environment is very humid; managing drainage and moisture sources is key.
