I want the least expensive solution for my dehumidifier to drain. will this and 20' of 3/8 inch tubing be dummy proof? it seems like overkill.

Every portable that I have owned has a drip tray with it. If not measure the distance between the dehumidifier and the drain and buy one foot of tubing more. This pump is for my heater and has a lot of condensate

Do you have a portable dehumidifier or a unit on you furnace. This pump is for a furnace and it works great on my furnace. If the pump will be on a furnace it will be fine the tubing you will have to measure the distance from start to finish

Yes it's dummy proof. As far as the amount of tubing you need to reach a drain, I can't answer.

My guess is that because the pressure is less than in home plumbing, this would work. It might be hard to wrap it tightly around small flexible tubing. This needs to be stretched and wrapped tightly.

The dehumidifier is a separate function. I don't know if it's quieter. I returned it after a week. Don't buy it. Go with the delonghi brand. Doesn't need to be drained. You won't regret it

It will dehumidify my 500 sq ft basement (open floor plan). I have to empty it EVERY day!! I like it, it is pretty quiet, just wish I got a 45 or 60 pint unit!!

We have it installed to pump away condensation from large commercial a/c units. I'm no expert but I think it is too small to handle that much and would probably burn out fairly quickly. I'd go to a spa or pool store, find the right unit then shop for it online. The markup on these things is ridiculous.

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).

Irrigation wiring and submersible wire ties would be advisable. Not sure how the additional wire length would affect the current or if the affect would be enough to notice.

I looked at both just now on Amazon and aside from a $20 difference (the D50AP is cheaper) I don't see anything that jumps out at me as being different. The dehumidifier has been plug in for over 4 months now and now that the weather has gotten sticky it's been going nonstop without a hitch. The pump is working fine but it's a bit noisy still it's better than emptying a bucket every day!

Yes! I actually have 2- 70 pint dehumidifiers draining into one unit, and pumping up about 8 ft to the drain. Works flawlessly. (Unit also has built in back flow device, no need to order one)

It is probably not recommended, but it might work. I just connected 20 feet of 1/4" OD .170" ID tubing to the supplied tubing and got an identical reading, but that is without the tubing ran up 20 feet. You'll probably want to run a few scenarios to confirm operation, such as confirming readings between the attic and basement with the fan on and off.

Yes it is, Just make sure your connections are water proof, I used very small shrink tubing.

The drain I used it for was a Price-Pfister and it worked perfectly. However, it comes with a dual-threaded sleeve so that it can be used for 1-3/8" and 1-1/2" drains and the overflow cover is pretty standard. Unless your application is significantly non-standard I would expect this to meet your needs.

I'm sorry but I'm not an HVAC guy and really couldn't offer any technical advice. I only know of the application in my system which is to drain water that's been removed from the air- dehumidified. Sorry I can't be of any assistance.

I have no idea. It works great in our heated basement and keeps it dry even on the most humid days. Best dehumidifier we have owned and we have owned quite a few! I would check with the manufacturer about the temperature limit.

It does not fit inside the dehumidifier. I placed mine a few feet away and routed a hose from the humidifier to it. It only runs for a few seconds when full and is very quiet. I was planning to use an extra washing machine supply hose that I had for the drain but it was too stiff. I found a hose made for dehumidifier drains at Lowes and it works very well.

Mine works well at two foot depth and using a 12 inch air bar.I routed the duel output through a splitter and reduced down to a single air line. It worked great for me, it also allows you to turn the operating pressure down and should help increase the life of the pump slighty.

I dont use the comptessor everyday so, for that reason specifically I drain the condensation evey time I use it. I do not want the water to sit in the tank to potentially cause rust. the drainage practice is simple and only takes a few seconds. well worth the simple effort to help maintain good care of this tool.
