A:Answer Yes, you need to manually empty the water via one of 2 drain ports (one towards the bottom on the rear of the unit, and another in the middle on the rear of the unit). It's really easy, you can also connect an included hose (or your own hose, it has a threaded port that would fit a regular garden hose "female" end) to either port and continuously drain to a bucket or wherever you want the water to drain. Again, its super easy, i reccomend using the hose for continous draining as its just easier to deal with in my opinion.
