Product Information

For dehumidifiers that do not have the ability to have a pump installed internally, you will need to add a general-use condensate pump to the drainage system. I build, repair, and restore guitars, so it’s extremely important for my shop to maintain 50% rH. The “gunk” you see in your hoses and drains, is normal and can be dealt with easily. You can’t prevent this growth, so you have to be vigilant about cleaning it before you have a leak. If there is vertical coiling in your hose, you will need to secure the hose to the floor or at the endpoints to keep it flat and straight.

If you can’t put the dehumidifier above the drain, install a condensate pump. Some units are built for this option, in which case the manufacturer should sell the right pump for your setup. Optional hose connection allows continuous draining in damp rooms. Divert water to basement drain or slop sink. At low temperatures, the automatic defrost function will guarantee its operation, making it a very good device for use in cold rooms (no colder than 5°C). The appliance has an automatic restart function in case of power failure, which ensures that the appliance will start working automatically when the power supply is restored, maintaining all previous settings.Most large dehumidifiers have a ¾” drainage hose connection. They can fit hoses as wide as garden hoses. However, many come with smaller hoses despite having a wide connection. If you notice a leak at the fitting cap where your hose connects to the dehumidifier, this is most likely your problem. To fix a loose hose fitting cap: My husband, who spent 60+ years in HVAC, has always had to deal with drains plugging. I do the maintenance on my dehumidifier, which I use in my workshop.

First, try sourcing parts from the manufacturer of your dehumidifier. They should be able to sell you the parts, or put you in touch with someone who can.

Personal and portable dehumidifiers use gravity for drainage. Any vertical lift or coiling in the hose can cause leaks. Portable design with caster wheels and top and side handles makes it easy to move your unit from room to room

Its compact size and good design together with its 4 swivel castors and foldable grip handle make it a very easy to move and manoeuvre dehumidifier. Low temperature feature allows the system to continue to operate at temperatures as low as 41°F (5°C)Clean it with a wet/dry vacuum. Disconnect the hose and suction the gunk out of the outlet. If stuff clings, use a tube cleaner brush to loosen the stuff. You can clean the hose by either suctioning, blowing out, or flushing with fresh water, but DO make sure you clean the hose, especially on units using smaller diameter hoses. Frequently you’ll find a gelatinous plug. You might want to buy a vacuum hose reducer, especially if you have a larger shop vacuum that uses larger diameter hoses. You can buy micro tools for the average 1.25 inch vacuum hose. A 24-hour On/Off timer allows you to turn the dehumidifier on and off at the time you want, even when you’re away. When the water tank reaches its maximum capacity, the dehumidifier switches off automatically to prevent water spillage. At that moment, you will hear a warning beep and the full tank indicator light will illuminate.
