Can you attach plastic tubing that is longer than the 20' (40'-50') if draining horizontally across basement floor from a dehumidifier into sump pump?

There should be absolutely no problem with a longer horizontal run - especially if it ends with a 1 or 2 foot drop into the sump. The 20' tubing probably represents this pump's maximum pumping height. At 20' straight up, you would probably get barely a trickle.

Yes, we have attached a longer tube. Your biggest challenges will be ensuring the tubing fits, and making sure it's on some kind of slope that runs downwards towards the sump pump. You could probably achieve this by situating this pump between the drain for your dehumidifier and the floor (making sure it's off the floor).

Yes, I attached 1" ID flexible plastic tubing and pump about 40' into the outside sewer outlet. It should work into a toilet but I'd try the gray water first. The only thing I don't like about it are the cheap plastic hose quick connect and back flow preventer fittings. They are not under warranty and started leaking (fresh water) after only 4 uses.

would not connect directly. You would have to fashion your own discharge pipe (ex. 1&1/2 PVC with an adapter cap that reduces from 1 1/2 to 3/4" with threads. Then buy a 3/4"-3/4" adapter (one end is threaded for the PVC reducer, one end is garden hose threads). You may/may not want to get a 45 or 90 degree elbow. PVC cement where needed, thread tape/compound where needed. I built a rescue pump from my old sump pump (new one is in the pit). Your local hardware store should have everything.

I believe that there are better alternatives for your particular application. This is a great pump for a permanent sump based installation, but it is heavy, does not operate until the water level is 4" deep, and is rather large. There are portable pumps that are made specifically for your requirements. I would consider the Wayne VIP50 (available at amazon) as a better alternative.

you probably could if you could extend the intake pipe to the depth you need. I comes with only 3 sec. that when attached to each other will fit into a 50 Gal drum, but you could put an extender for any height you needed. The volume it pumps out is great (10 gal/min) and with very little cranking. The crank turns VERY easily. We connected a hose to the spout for gardening.

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, you can attach a short length of hose to the outlet port, and run it to the floor drain. We use the gray short hose from Home Depot that RVers use.

Only if you hook the drain hose up to the pump outlet. This model also has a gravity drain outlet as well.

As long as the GPH is correct going out of the filter and into the chiller I do not see any reason why it would be a problem. A pump is a pump no matter where it is. One thing you could consider is shortening or adding more length to your tubes to increase/decrease the water flow rate to match the chillers needs. The only thing you are going to need is some extra tubing and clamps to seal leaks. The setup would like this: Tank -&gt; filter intake -&gt; tube to filter -&gt; tube from filter outtake into chiller intake -&gt; tube from chiller output out back into the tank.

Ron, I'm sorry, but I don't know if it's capable of doing that. I have my dehumidifier elevated and draining to a lower point. You might try addressing this to the maker, but again, I question it.Gary

The model I purchased, Zoeller 57-0001 M57 Basement High Capacity Sump Pump, is for a 1 1/2 inch discharge, so I would "search" on Amazon for a "Sump Pump 2 inch Discharge" and you should be able to find what you are looking for.

That depends on how high you plan on discharging as it won't pump from the floor lets say out a basement window to much lift for this pump

Yes you can. the suction hose I believe is 20' long but you can buy the hose in different lengths and put your fitting on it.

I don't precisely for your case but you can follow these simple steps: http://www.wikihow.com/Choose-the-Size-of-a-Dehumidifier to get a closer idea. Thanks

They are hard plastic hoses and may extend to about 10 feet. You could certainly rig up a 'custom' solution from the duct section of your home improvement store.

The answer is complex. It depends on how far away your basement set up would be. I do not believe the water lines they supply are long enough for a long run. Also you may need to consider the pressurized holding tank may not push the water a great distance so you may have slow water coming out at the sink too. I am NOT a plumber but I believe that these factors would come into play. Hope that helps.

That's the amount of lift of the pump, 20 feet from the water source. If pumping from a surface cistern, you could theoretically pump from the surface to a second or third story sink (again, 20 feet). While there is a small amount of resistance in a horizontal pipe, and while making sure you have an airtight seal is important (as with BD's answer), there is very little limitation on the length of a horizontal run for this pump. The limitation is in how far it can lift the water column using vacuum. In theory, all things being perfect and equal, this could be as much as 34 feet at sea level (though no seals are that perfect). 20 feet is a reliable estimate.
