Is there some type of hose I could add that would reach down from my faucet to my basement sump when draining the tank? Only about 3 feet away.

When I looked it up it appears they make a 20 ft extension hose you might check on.

I'm sure there is... I don't know the product you'd need though... Perhaps you could rig something...? The thing is that there's not too much clearance from the bottom of the python "drain" and the bottom of the sink (only a few inches - 3?), typically... Meaning the h20 comes back from the tank and drains in the sink - where it exits the python theres not much clearance --- kinda hard to explain....) Good luck~!

I don't personally know what can be used but I have seen items advertised as additional/replacement equipment for the Python systems. Have you looked on Amazon or just try putting those key words into bing or yahoo. Good Luck!

The hose isnt very long..... However, it is very easy to add additional hose to the item as i did. Your local hardware store will have the hose you need, and its very simple to do.

There are two (hot and cold) approximately 15" Long Flex Hoses which connect to plumbing with a 3/8" Compression fitting. Hope this is what you were looking for. Steve

I run the drain hose into the basement floor drain. The hose is NOT included. I picked one up at the local hardware store.

The hoses were not long enough to reach. You will need extension hoses, all I can say is the stantard kitchen faucet extension hoses fit. I hope this helps

The hose connector is near the top of the unit. I have a 10ft piece of hose connected. Mine sits on the basement floor and the drain is in the floor. I would assume as long as the drain is lower than the hose connector you should be fine.

We hooked up PVC pipe to drain the water further away from the sink. We used zip-ties to secure the PVC pipe to the sink. Worked great!

Yes it is 72", so you would be able to drain most of it. I suggest you tie a small weight at the end of the hose to keep it from flopping around and to keep the hose opening from rising off the bottom as you pump. With that you should be able to pump the liquid leaving a fraction of an inch in the tank.

We recently had significant flooding in our basement and used similar pumps to pump out the standing water. Our method was to attach garden hoses to each pump and drag those up the stairs and out the back door, allowing the water to be directed outside. Here's the problem with this particular model of pump. It has a discharge vent or some darn thing that shoots water up straight up into the air when it's pumping. I'm not sure what the function of this is and I have other pumps, none have this vent. So while pumping out the basement water, I'm afraid this pump would be spraying water all over and making a bigger mess. The Little Giant, if you can locate one, or a sump pump from your local hardware store may be a better option.

It doesn't come with the right threads for a regular faucet but it will fit my slop sink faucet in the basement. I know this because a hose fits this faucet. You might be able to find the fittings at a plumbing shop to make it fit a regular faucet.

You will either have to use a hose extender if you can find the right connector or buy a longer hose for the drain. I had to set my sink in close proximity to where the water drain from a raised deck.

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).

50 feet of 1/2" is far more than you need for a sink. I'd suggest looking for better options. I use it to go from my basement to the septic tank.

There are pumps out there that will do what you want. I have a portable one that sits flush on the floor and has a metal holed screen on the bottom to keep debris out. I actually had to use it when my built in sump pump stopped working. It pretty much sucked up all the water in the basement into just wet looking spots. You just attach any size garden hose to it and pump it out to where you want it to go. I pumped it into a basement sink. The one I have has no on off switch and it turns itself off when there's no longer water to suck up.

You could simply add a hose of the length that you need to reach your desired draining spot.

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

I have mine next to the tank, and the hoses are just about long enough. I don't think they'd be long enough to connect the filter under the tank. You could always just buy hoses from your local hardware store, but you can't have it too low -- the pump won't lift the water very high.Good luck!GBose
