i have a mobile and never have a problem with water .once the gear is set up get it running without introducing the media. after 5 minutes the air is getting warmer and comes through moist then just dry warm air as all the pipes and pot are warmed up. then start blasting and the gear will run all day without any problem . if the media is consistent it never needs re regulating or touching
