Correct Answer: Option A — The water may be removed through the water drain valve or through the sludge ports during the sludge discharge cycle.

Purifiers continuously separate free water, discharging minor accumulations through specialized water drain mechanisms or automatically expelling concentrated water phases into the solid sludge holding tank during periodic discharge cycles.
