Draining A Dehumidifier
Depending on your dehumidifier, there are up to three methods for draining.
Manual drainage
Drainage by Gravity
Attach a hose to the unit’s back and direct the moisture to a floor drain. I elevated my dehumidifier by placing it on a plastic box. Since the unit is higher than the floor the water flows away
Condensate Pump
For the most convenient moisture removal, some dehumidifiers have an internal condensate pump. The pump extracts moisture from the unit and transports it to a floor drain or laundry sink.

Tips To Control Indoor Humidity
Proper ventilation
Keep your home well ventilated, particularly in areas where moisture is a problem. Places like the kitchen and a bathroom. If necessary, open windows and doors and leave vents or fans on for more extended periods. This ensures adequate ventilation. Indoor humidity can decrease with enough ventilation at least a few hours per day. [6]
A Thermostat
A programmable thermostat eliminates the need to set the temperature manually. You can set the thermostat to be warmer during the day and cooler at night. This is dependent on seasonal weather changes. [7]
