I downloaded the Eco Flow app on my iPhone to remote start and stop my wave2. This area has low humidity. Usually around 35-40%. But I got a warning that the condensation tank was full of water. I hooked up the drain hose but it wasn’t draining. I learned I need to go into the app and click on settings then click on automatic drain then turn on external drain every time I use this wave2 for cooling. That’s a pain but necessary. Plus if I decide not to use the wave2 for a few days I need to carry it to a sink and tilt it to drain remaining water out. The drain tube is obviously not at the bottom. It’s maybe 2/3 down so it leaves some water in. But my wave2 works great for cooling a room and now I’m starting to use it for heating my living in the mornings because temperatures are cooler. I keep the fan on medium all the time and it only uses about 325 watts for heating or cooling. That’s awesome!

Amazing that water would not only collect - but to the point that it disables itself! Excellent detective work, Sherlock!

Haven't used it as an air conditioner yet, but it certainly does the job on the heating side. Good to know the drain is something I will need to keep in mind when boondocking next spring!

Did you ever go into the app settings and selected to turn on the drain function? They just had an update that once you set it you don't have to set it again. That will be the only way it auto drains.

Hi, Thanks for doing your video. I'd agree with the comment the unit could be undersized for what your doing but (1) it seems to be working well to some degree. (2) Some more info would help understand that better. How big is the room your trying to air-condition (it looks quit large), and how well is your motor home insulated.. And what's the temperature difference you achieved inside compared to outside when your were running it flat out. And what the relative humidity like in your area? I'm thinking about this unit for a Sprinter van in a normally hot climate that can at times by quite humid, and a little worried the specs shows cooling power to be fairly low when compared to other more "established" AC units (understandable, it's a small luggable unit) e.g. Dometic 24VDC truck cab cooler (a very small floor area), and their smallish mains voltage Harrier Lite unit. And the specs as quoted on the Eco website are a little confusing when looking at the power supply options they offer and the respective cooling capacity they quote. The terms change between the options. I'm not a refrigeration engineer but it would be nice to have like for like comparisons. One point another KZfaq helped clear up is the Eco unit will only take about a 1/4 of the power input if your running direct off 12V DC, so I didn't use that in my comparisons.

What about the second hose??

So you don't have to use the second horse tthat goes outside?

SO....maybe I am missing something. 1. The Wave 2 is WAY undersized for what you are doing. 2. Running it without the AIR INTAKE hose on the back, you are creating negative pressure (vacuum) inside your RV and thereby sucking HOT outside air into the RV. 3. Why dont you just just install 2 Coleman rooftop units and have REAL A/C?????? 4. One Coleman unit will run off shore power or off your gen set.

The Wave 2 is a little bit noisy when compressor running.

the unit will have to work harder if you don't vent both hoes out side. basically venting only one hoes. You are pushing hot air out but at the same time you are pushing hot air in too. by pushing air out you will have negative pressure on the inside and will cause air to come in form the outside to balance the pressure . Therefor making the unit work harder and use more electricity.
