It's very simple. Go buy a hose the length and diameter needed, cut it to the length you need , follow directions that came with the dehumidifier, take out the water bucket,slip to hose to the connection inside and you have direct drain. I bored a hole in the door facing where mine is placed and drained it outside.

I only use the bucket, however in the manual it says: you can use a 12 mm hose to attach to the connector (which comes with the unit) - Hope this helps!

A small adapter hose comes with the unit and you attach that to a regular hose and run it out to wherever you want. It is a great unit!

assuming you have a drain at a level lower than the drain plug in the unit.... buy at least 2 feet of hose that fits the drain line and press it onto the drain line

You need to get this at a hardware store. Don't know if the they will sell the ring separate . I have seen drain popups for sale on Ebay

Richard: Yes, the knob on the front top is the overflow drain. It would be possible to hook up a garden hose to it if you have the right diameter fitting to muscle it in from the outside and w/o actually blocking it. It may be possible to get a male fitting from the inside (through the top rectangular vent) but I suspect it would be hard because of the small area to work with within the knob cavity itself. I have mine hooked up to the gutter with the Oatey 14209 Mystic Rainwater Collection System. I actually punched a hole on the top of the barrel with a paddle drill bit to get a perfect fitting with the hose. Good luck. Richard: Yes, the knob on the front top is the overflow drain.

As far as I know, you don't; at least not without drilling or cutting. In addition, I discovered a new issue. Although there is a grid over the entrance to the downspout, small sticks, pieces of leaf, etc. can get in and settle to the bottom. When you open the spigot to drain water, this detritus is drawn toward the spigot, eventually blocking it. As there is no removable top, and you can't extend your arm to the bottom of the tank to clean it out, the solution is to unscrew the handle to the spigot, then thread a pipe cleaner through to clean it out. Not difficult, but should be unnecessary, and is a pain in the b---. As far as I know, you don't; at least not without drilling or cutting. In addition, I discovered a new issue.

You can asked the ez-access company if you can buy the replacement drain hose . They are selling some replacement. Or you can go to home Depot and take the attachment part of your drain hose they will do it for you as I did mine.

Probably would be best to contact a plumber or maybe someone in the plumbing department at Home Depot. Sorry I don't have a better answer for you.

You can connect a hose and put the hose in a drain. Never have to empty the bucket again!

just attach a longer drain hose. Its a simple fix....hardwares store rubber tubing will be fine for this.

It could be the little black rubber ring( I forgot the name of this item) is missing,it goes where the hose contact the drain

Hi,Thank you for your question!The only way to do this would be to remove the intake screen to reach the actual hose intake. If you have any other questions please let us know!Thank you,MackensieCustomer ServiceThe Pond & Garden Wholesalers

Attach the end of the hose to the water supply. Then all you have to do is turn the water on and watch the hose grow. When are finished with the hose to drain water, turn the water off and hold the nozzle till water drains out.

Yes. All you need to do is unscrew a cap on the back and screw on a section of garden hose for a gravity drain. I drain mine to a small lift pump that I bought at Lowe's.

You should have instructions that came along with them. I'm not near my drain but you basically put it in the drain hole and tighten the nut from the bottom, make sure the rubber seal goes against the sink bottom. Don't forget the plumbers putty...see what EadtCoastPete said...

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 your asking like where to drill the hole for the waste line (black hose) then all you do is position the r o where you wand it, then run the black line to the drain pipe, you want it at least 6" from the bottom of the pipe where it lopes cause water stays in there, so just go as high as you can to where you can drill a hole, it comes with the kit to adapt black hose on pipe,, and ofcourse the other hose(white) hook up to your cold water, you mite have to go to Home Depot to get a fitting, I did cause mine was different size, only like 3$ but others then that that's it, run the blue line where ever and turn on and enjoy

I do not think so, I just looked at the unit, I do not see any place to attach a drain hose.

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.
