Can I have this drain into my sump pump?

I don't know for sure but I can't see any reason why not. I have a sump pump and a lot of times I pour water into it just to make sure it is working. This is by far the best dehumidifier I have ever had.

I don't know anything about sump pumps but I have mine draining into the sewer line from my washer into the septic tank. It drains at a trickle continuously. I have been very pleased with this unit.

I assume yes but I have never had a sump pump. It has a very long hose that i have going vertically 5 feet and out my window and its working great!! Good luck! Only question I would have is " Does sumo pump work automatically" cause the water has to be able to drain out automaticlly.

Yes I am doing it now. If your sump pump runs all the time watch for a few days to make sure that this additional small amount of water does not cause a problem.

Yes, submerge the intake, make sure fittings are tight to the pump and away it goes.

I would not. I would use a "trash pump" that can handle some solids. Zoeller makes them and that is what I would suggest you get. A sump pump is for water only And likely to get clogged used for sink and laundry waste.

Yes you can. I just sawed off my existing drain pipe from my gutter and fit the diverter onto the end where it drains directly into the sieve opening.

We don't think so, but you can contact the company for that answer. We attached the hose supplied to us andit drains directly into a pipe by gravity. It works wonderfully and are happy with our selection. Hope this helps.

Yes you can I use it for the basement shower and sink . Goes into a pit where it discharges 6 foot up to drain very fast . No problem

Yes. I have mine sitting close to a drain and use the hose that was included.

I don't see why not. As soon as the water touches both metal tips of the probes it will turn on the sump pump. Either probe can be mounted as the the lower probe or upper probe. The lower probe on my setup is submerged in water most of the time and the sump turns on once the water reaches the metal tip of the upper probe. The sump runs until the water level drops past the lower probe. On my sump once the pump turns off, water from the drain tiles partially refills the sump submerging the lower probe It doesn't matter how the probes are mounted, pointing down, pointing up or even sideways, once both metal tips are touching water the pump turns on and runs until both metal tips are out of the water.

I don't see why you couldn't. However, if you use it with the drain hole unplugged, make sure you have a small bucket positioned on the shelf underneath it so the draining water doesn't splash onto your floor or carpet.

I believe you could do that but the barrell will overflow unless you have a very tightly sealed lid. Don't know where the water would go after it is full. I presume it would probably fill up the supply line up to the diverter and then back out the downspout.

I used a length of garden hose that threaded on to the unit. It is about 15 feet to the sump drain. Works perfectly.

If it has the same features and specs I can't see why not. You need to make sure it auto comes on when fulland it has enough pressure to push the water up hill if that is where you drain is located.

No. There are different connection points for the pump and direct drain. The drain hose has to be attached to the direct drain connection point if you want to drain directly into a floor drain. The direct drain is a gravity drain.

yes it is you want a pump liner for the sake of not having all the dirt debrie suck up you pump and possible clog it up. Put the liner in the pit and put your sump pump it next, but before placing the liner in the pit put several holes around the diameter of the liner the heavy items will fall to the bottom while the water filters through the holes. Drill several holes around the primeter about one half inch in diameter.

No, it's a fine thread going into the pump. You could probably get an adapter at Home Depot.

Most drains are compatible with other manufacturers so I'm thinking it would work just fine but check your sinks specifications to be sure it is the normal 3.5" drain opening.

These units are made for computers. There are devices (e.g., Laser Printers) that you shouldn't hook up to this. I don't know whether a pump as a load would be appropriate. Even if it would be OK, there are other similarly-rated units that are cheaper because they don't have the features of this unit, and for a sump pump you wouldn't care about these features. APC's number is 800-800-4272, ask for tech support for more information before buying this unit.
