Phat scooter problem fix-Updated!!!!
Great work! Your Timelapse makes it seem like you got it done in a casual day and you’re almost done. You make it look easy, but the structure shows an impressively solid grasp of the structural integrity and complexity. Well done.
I can guarantee by all the aches and pains within my body that it took some real effort! Glad to be off the ladder for a while! Thanks for watching and the comment!
@ it’s such impressive work and I’m happy to watch.
Just had draining issue myself might try the physical fix you showed with the spout part as it is design flaw with it being the only hole in and out for air n' water Granted gotta do it with hand tools
Good luck-haven't had a further problem with mine since I did the fix.
What a project! You have it down to the bones and are adding more “bones” to it. You clearly demonstrate the need for bracing! Impressive work!
I like the build it back up part a lot more than the tear it down part. Now the fun begins! Thanks for the comment!!!!
That made me tired! I think you had birds singing along when you started. Your comment on a complete cleanup at the end of the day was a demonstration of an excellent work ethic. Well done. There’s already better light inside too.
Dropped some sweat with that chore! The birds singing did make the task that much nicer-there was a lot more of them that I edited out as well! Thanks for watching and the comment!!!!
That looks like a serious project! Plus it looks like a two-person job! Cooler temperatures are on the way.
Now you see why I waited for cooler temps to arrive-lots of physical labor involved!
@@Thecoutch oh, I understand completely! We’re only just now seeing Fall-like weather.
It looks good and it is firmly set. Sadly you cast a big shadow over your work, so it is hard to see the details.
The problem with having no windows! Will rectify that soon hopefully! Thanks for the comment!
I bought a wave 2 back in August and I'm on my 3rd one waiting for the 4th to get here. They have all been bad out of the box. And trying to deal with their customer service is unbelievable bad
Wow-sounds like you've had all the bad luck. Mine is still working fine after I fixed the drain issue. Hope your luck takes a turn for the better!
Oh wow, this happened again on our new 453. Same fix….but this time the rubber was very sticky and took a few digs to get it out.. Thanks again John, that’s 2 i owe you.
Hard to believe that they keep using that same flawed design-lots of automotive engineers have no real world experience working on cars.
The metal roofs sure look great - and the longevity has to be much better!
The longevity is the true advantage of going with metal-a properly installed metal roof can last up to 50 years!! Thanks for the comment!!!
I do love the opening shot! That shed is just a blank pallet and it is waiting for your artistry to become useful and admired once again!
Trying to take advantage of some seasonally-cool weather to get started on this project (Finally!!) Unfortunately it looks to be just a brief respite before temps climb back up again. Thanks for the comment!!!
@@Thecoutch Our Indian Summer!
I like the minimalist design more. I’m impressed with how long you’ve avoided this excellent opportunity. You have a great sense for how to use this hidden asset.
I even considered just removing it altogether but decided that it is nice to have that extra storage. Soon as it cools off a bit more I'm going to get on it in earnest. thanks for the comment!!!!
I am still surprised by that "secret shed" behind your Mom's house. What else are you hiding back there? Great to see you back on line.
I had this problem last night for the first time. I’ve only used my Eco flow AC unit maybe 8-10 hours and I’ve used the heater function probably 12 hours. I didn’t have the hose connected because I was under the impression I would be getting some kind of a light or something on the screen that told me it was time to drain it, and I thought based on some other videos that Eco flow was put out that there was a function to drain it. It would notify me. I could plug the hose in and it would drain, but it puked all over my camper floor last night when I could not get it to put out heat we saw the little dripping cup icon. When I went to move it it a lot of water came out. It was definitely full And today I’ve got outside draining and there’s water draining out of it. The odd thing was when I plug the hose in to drain it. Water was coming from around the outside of that plug that the hose attaches to.
I just got back from our trip to Redmond, Oregon and was just compelled to watch this again. Fantastic!
I'll tell mom-she'll love to hear it!
Mine works perfect. Been over a year.
I didn’t even know that shed was back there! I guess we never did a full property inspection.
Out of sight- out of mind!
@@Thecoutch I had to watch this again on a larger screen, because of my surprise about this well-kept secret. It's off that there are no windows all along that back wall.
Thank you sir… mine got stuck and just thumping in that area released it whilst turning but I’ll do the preventative measure you suggested. Kudos to you sir!
Glad to help-haven't had a single problem with mine since I removed the rubber stopper.
@@Thecoutch so your direction to the problem was spot on. It’s often referred to as “sticky button” syndrome. The “rubber” cover has degraded and the structural integrity has failed and it’s gone to mush. So I followed your guidance. I’ve made a video and will put it up soon and show you as the inspiration. Thank you sir! Have a blessed week ahead and thanks for sharing
This was soo helpful.. hint... on max it pushes out the water automatically without tilting
Glad that it helped!!! Thanks for the comment!!!!
With the complaints you have it should be highly recommended. Sounds like the panels were seconds and should have been sent back. The other complaints are software issues that normal updates take care of. Compared to most tech this sounds like a great system.
Going to have to try this. Thank you!!!
I used my wave2 for heating the bedroom and the living room in my house last winter. I have it on a cart with wheels. This summer I’ve been using it to cool my living room. I run it off solar power all day. It’s been 100 degrees most days lately here in Eastern WA. My home hvac doesn’t come on until about 2 or 3 pm. It’s set on 75 degrees. I have always only had the exhaust tube going out the window. I never hook up the intake tube. I do use the drain tube into a bucket. It produces over a gallon of water a day. Humidity is about 40% but I tried running it without the drain tube. It filled with water then sent me a app warning and shut off. It doesn’t seem like a good idea to put the intake tube out the window because that air is very hot. It’s not dusty here though.
I agree it’s a handy little unit and very portable but expensive. I bought one and the battery when they first came out. I used it all winter heating my bedroom and my living room in my home. My home is only 980 square feet yet it’s 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. It’s very well insulated with 2 by 6 wall studs. Now it’s summer and I’m keeping it in my living room because it cools down at night here. My home Evac unit is set on 75 degrees and it’s been 100 + degrees everyday for the past week. The hvac comes on around 2 or 3 pm. I also have a small portable swamp cooler in my electronics room helping keep it cool.

Hi John, thanks for producing your videos on the Wave 2. I've been on the fence about buying one of these given the many conflicting opinions. You seem to strike a fair balance on the pros and cons, without the burden of being sponsored. Now that we're in the middle of summer, thought I'd ask about how the new duct setup is working out. Has your opinion changed, and might you now recommend one of these for a camper? (In my case, a camper van.)
New duct system is working well and unit is in daily use for me without further issues. Lot of hours on it now so no issue there. Would work for small area applications in my opinion-good luck!
@@Thecoutch Very good, thanks again!
Does anyone use a maxxair fan with this device. If so do you use it with the vent open blowing air outside or do you keep it shut on “ceiling fan” mode. Thanks
Seems like the machine operates and has better cooling numbers when the van is blasting its AC. Then when van gets shut off, cooling numbers balloon. Wondering if getting one of those Icybreezy things combined with the Wave2 would eliminate the humidity inside the van and allow the wave2 to work efficiently. think since its around 80%+ humidity outside its tough for this machine to keep up with the cooling process but seemed to work fine with lower humidity last week
Blanketing off back section of the van at set bed to try and confine the cool air to a smaller space. Keep u posted
This is a great compilation of Uncle Ed 👏 I enjoyed watching this. Happy 90th in Heaven
Glad you enjoyed it
great pictures. Thanks for sharing
Glad that you were able to see it-Mom always tells me that you said to say Hi when she talks to you-you are one of her best phone friends!
So great to see this excellent collection of memories! Happy Heavenly 90th Birthday to my Favorite Brother-In-Law: Ed. You are so missed and loved.
Hi John I have a scooter very similar to yours, but it will not factory reset. I have lost third my third year. Please 🙏🏻 help is so slow 😢
Press and Hold far right silver button…a little icon will appear. Now it’s in hose drain mode. EcoFlow RUclips channel.
For the record, my unit is also faulty. Auto-drain setting on and still will not drain a single drop of water out the hose. EcoFlow is aware of the issue and is accepting warranty fulfillments on faulty units but you do have to ship the faulty unit back first, so if you (like me) no longer have the original box and packing material and live in a rural area where there's no FedEx shipping centers nearby, it may be easier just to try your hack. Looks like this is what I'll be doing. Thanks for sharing.
Haven't had another problem with mine since I did the fix. Good luck and thanks for the comment!!
@@Thecoutch Really good to hear. Thanks!
Just want to follow up and say that this fixed my issue as well. The water is now draining out the hose as it should be. Fantastic. Thanks again.
Not many people know that the water needs to be recycled regularly.
Don’t see where or how you attached the tape. I am having the same drain issue. The hose is plugged in but no water coming out unless I take the plastic part off and tilt back. I ended up breaking down that little nub thing and plugging the plastic part back in with the hose don’t know if it will leak since no tape but hopefully the water finally drains out of it. I also slightly tilted the unit back to maybe help the water out of the unit. I live in my van. I have the exhaust pipe going out the window but don’t use the intake hose since the air outside is either too hot or if heating the air outside is too cold. In hide sight I wish I just bought a $50 window unit cause the wave 2 sucks.
Once I vented the intake hose to draw in air from the outside I started getting much less condensation. You might try doing this as well to see if it helps.
Is the louder noise in Eco and Sleep mode? I noticed that mine is quieter and rumbles less in manual mode. Once the compressor idles all the way down in Eco and Sleep mode, the rumbling compressor noise is noticeably louder. Is this normal?
I rarely exceed medium power on mine because it gets noticeably louder at anything higher.
Mine is in manual mode. I tried max mode today and it’s just a tiny bit louder. But mine seems very quiet and I keep the fan on high all the time. Make sure you do a firmware update. That might help it run more efficiently.

So, if you want to cool a small bedroom in 110 degrees - the EcoFlow Wave 2 is a waste of money??? I’m in Phoenix and would like a backup if our electricity goes out.
I'm in Yuma and that's why I bought mine-for a back-up that draws low wattage so my small solar array and battery back-up system will power it for an extended amount of time. As long as you don't expect too much from it then you won't be disappointed. It's just not way more efficient watt-for-watt then any other AC unit in my opinion.
Yep I’m struggle with mine 👍 well said 👍
If the unit is used inside it should have intake and exhaust hoses that go outside. Your improper installation is obviously your problem.
I have re-worked the hoses-have new video posted.
Those are some great videos- and they just keep coming! Nice collection!
I think my favorite is the bride and preacher taking a dive-too hilarious!!!! Thanks for watching and the comment!!!!!!
I liked the skateboarding shots - but the Minister and bride taking the plunge is classic!@@Thecoutch
Just curious if you have seen any need for an expansion tank on the system to handle thermal expansion? My Suburban starts dripping when the water temp produces vaper pressure. Thanks
No I haven't had any issues with that on mine. At least so far.
My rv has propane system can I install without taking out the propane water heater?
@@smgtirelli4287 The reason that I bought this was so that I could get rid of the propane system-don't see a reason to have both.
So you don't have to use the second horse tthat goes outside?
I do now. I have another video posted on my channel about how the hose system is set up now if you want to watch it.
Where did you pour the water
Not sure I understand your question. Initial fill just goes into the base. When I change the water within the system I use the old to water on some of my plants. You can watch my other video on how I change the water that I have posted on my channel if you like.
Hey John! Ive tried resetting the speed control a few times however i still can seem to get the motor to do more than one speed. Any thoughts? Is it likely to be a motor issue?
Probably the controller and not the motor. Don't know how to fix it other than replacing however-sorry. Good luck!
Midea inverter AC’s are awesome we run two. Easily run on solar. $1000 for 2 12000btu inverter AC’s delivered. Once the room is cool they will put along at about 360-400 watts.
Thanks for the info!!!!!
Thanks so much for this video, the exact help that was needed, God blessings from the UK.
Thrilled that I could be of assistance!!!
Hey John. Thank you for your videos.. I purchased one of these a couple days ago. Has yet to come. I have done a good bit of research. And perhaps I should have done an online search for the manual before making this comment. Anyway, I'm pretty sure one of the videos I saw said that the instructions say to leave a certain amount of space on both the front and back of the unit. It's a little difficult to tell from your video but it looks like the unit is nearly against the wall in the back. I believe this to be the intake vent. So I'm thinking it would definitely affect the performance. But then again I'm not a AC guy. In your other video I saw the problem that you were having with the drainage. I'm sure the through hole is big enough for all the water. The unit would pull out of the air. So I don't think that the size is the problem. But obviously there is something going on. If when you clip it on it stops the draining. I hope this helps in some way.
I have now changed around the venting system(see video) and it has slightly improved the performance. Also far less water draining out while running now. Good luck with yours and thanks for the comment.......PS Mine has got a lot of hours on it now and still working fine.......
The wave 2 A/C part is only sufficient for a 1 man tent or similar small areas
No, if it’s properly vented it can do a large area. If you watch Professor Hobo , who has it properly vented and installed correctly, (which this guy doesn’t) it can easily do a 200 square ft room with no trouble. This reviewer does not know how operate it.
