Condensation is an issue to be dealt with, especially living in the south with no basement.
The drain hole is no longer "plugged." The machine screw is gone.
A jar now sits on the outside ledge on the backside to collect the condensation. A plastic tube runs from the drain to the top of the jar. In a sense the drain is still "plugged" because the jar is sealed.
This also gives more space on the bottom of the Chasidor for beads and airflow.
Chasidor rocks!
