Air passing through dehumidifier may carry quantities of dust, lint and fungus
spores. Much of this matter will be deposited on the coil and then flushed away
by natural drainage.
Direct Draining
If you want the water to flow directly to a drain, you must first remove the hose cap
(Figure 2). To remove hose cap, use a standard screwdriver and turn counter-
clockwise. Connect any standard garden hose to the bucket connection, or
place the dehumidifier over the drain. A standard garden hose has a 3/4”
(19 mm) diameter connection with 11

When using either of the above direct draining methods, you must first drill
a 3/8” (10 mm) hole in the center of the bucket connection. (For ease of drilling use
locating mark to center drill bit for hole (Figure 3).) This will allow water to flow
freely through the connection. To reseal the hose connection to the bucket, use any
standard hose end cap.
