Has anyone tried attaching a garden hose to it for continuous draining? I bought a standard hose, but it would not fit the threads.

There was no problem with connecting my Haier DE45EK to a standard garden hose. Check your hose connection on your outside water faucet to confirm that there no problem with the hose which would not connect to the dehumidifier. I had the Haier dehumidifier for six months with no problem

Hi, Richard. I looked at mine, and figure the black nob at the top in the front is an overflow. I am not sure that a garden hose would do much good there. I attached a spigot to the front near the bottom. That works great for attaching a hose or filling a watering can.

is such then after about 15 minut just restart it and ypu keep filling. You can use a garden hose

I would say that you may not have the continuous drain hose installed correctly or else you may have a defective unit. Mine has had a hose on it right from the start and it has worked perfectly now for most of a year. Good luck!

No. The threads are not the same. Also, this would work similarly to a regular hose sprayer attachment, which would probably be cheaper if you're going to be using a garden hose to wash your dog.

Yes you can use a standard garden hose. I recommend to have a good fit to put the cut end in hot water for a minute to make it plyable.

Yes! My wife cut an extra hose to a smaller length to make it easier to remove water, but a garden hose does fit.

I would not recommend that you do. While the long end is meant to insert into the drain opening, the other end(w/hose clamp) is meant to attach to a ridged pipe. If you have to you might get away with it on a temporary basis, if you standby and monitor the entire run time. When they come apart they seldom give you any warning! Hope this helps.

Not a good idea, if there was an attachment. There is a rubber attachment for a garden hose (several sizes) that uses water pressure. It has worked for me. Try a good hardware store.

I hooked mine up to a normal garden hose. I think you can buy Dramm hoses as well per your requirements.

NO, the fittings are designed to be used with 3/4" Garden Hose connections. Could you adapt the fittings for air? I suppose you could be I've always found that air will leak where water will not. Plus I'm not sure the increased pressure of air would be smart. ie: Water 30-50psi Air up to 120psi.

I attached my own hose to the one it came with, works no problem. However, it does not work with a nozzle, not enough pressure.

Unfortunately it does sound like it is defective. The one I got has threads to screw onto any standard hose. I would request an RMA on yours.

I use an old garden hose for a drain hose for my dehumidifier. Had to cut it to lengths and cut the end off to get it through the wall to drain outside.

NO. The threaded part you see below the handle is for the female end of a garden hose. The other end, where you would attach it to the wall, does NOT accept a standard garden hose male end. I bought one and found out it is for threaded pipe - not the garden hose threads. It didn't work.

Is the drain hose hanging I've the sink high enough? (Once you get it working, consider buying a lint trap to zip tie around the end of the drain hose. You'll be surprised at how much lint collects. Not the best for general plumbing.) Good luck!!

What do you mean? I dump mine into a nearby sink. If you mean continuous drain, you'd attach a hose to the back of the unit, and that could go into a drain.
