All the ones I bought have a hose connectionDehumidifier on the fritz. Electronics seem to be hosed/or the microswitch shutoff failed (still clicks, but contacts could be corroded). Anyway, so it's overflowing.
It's 10 years old and has been running in the basement, which is pretty good for a $250 DH (from 2014). I think I'll get one with a pump this time.
Mine has a hose connection, but for gravity drain of external pump only. I'm iffy on an internal pump. If it breaks - the whole unit is probably toast. Researching away....All the ones I bought have a hose connection
huh? what kind of dehumidifier has pumps?Mine has a hose connection, but for gravity drain of external pump only. I'm iffy on an internal pump. If it breaks - the whole unit is probably toast. Researching away....
Uhm, lots. Home use residential and commercial ones.huh? what kind of dehumidifier has pumps?
they just need a fan and a compressor... the condensation gets collected by a plate and drain into either the bin or hose...Uhm, lots. Home use residential and commercial ones.
And they can have an internal pump to generate enough head pressure to pump out a hose that exits from the basement (in my case) through a hole just above the sill.they just need a fan and a compressor... the condensation gets collected by a plate and drain into either the bin or hose...
you don't have basement drains? how does plumbing even work lol?And they can have an internal pump to generate enough head pressure to pump out a hose that exits from the basement (in my case) through a hole just above the sill.
No basement drains. I could tap into the the main pvc pipe that leads to the sewer. Just not sure if I want to mess with that. It's a thought though. Still, I'd have to have a pump. I'll buy a floor unit since the units that bolt to the beams are commercial grade and cost more $$s than I'd like to spend. Those can use gravity drainage.you don't have basement drains? how does plumbing even work lol?

Only one of the three homes I've owned had basement plumbing. The one only had hookups for the washer. From house hunting over the years, it's not uncommon to have no plumbing in the basement. Maybe it's an NH, VT, ME thing.I don't understand how you can have a basement but no plumbing for the basement. I have a bathroom with toilet, vanity and shower down there, not to mention mechanical room laundry sink.
What can I say. It's just the way it is.That is just plain weird since sewage hookup is in the basement anyway.
