How to extend the drain hose to go outside and not in the bucket

ellen
January 2016
To extend the drain hose so water runs outside instead of into a bucket, attach a hose of the same diameter to the drain outlet and secure it tightly. Make sure the hose runs continuously downhill with no kinks or upward loops, as these stop gravity drainage. Drain outlet and setup details can be found in the user manual here:

I recall a condensate tank and automatic pump that can be fitted alongside a condensing boiler, which allows condensate to be tranferred to a remote or higher level drain.

Here's a few. Mount at the normal drain level from the a/c uynit and the pump should lift condensate out as you need.

You'll need to do a bit of thinking though

Ellen - what you seek to do is not realistic - not practical.

To begin with the exhaust water in a dehumidifier is gravity fed - not pumped - you will need to raise your dehumidifier higher then the outlet to get the water to flow.

Cut a hole in the case for the hose to pass through - cut a hole in the wall to get the water outside of the property - cut a hole in the water reservoir to fit an outlet that you can connect the hose to. The dehumidifier will then be fixed to one place - it will be very awkward to move it to a different room.

Anyway - these are the things you will need to do to achieve what you want - I would advise you not to try.

Good Luck...
