Drainage Options:
The dehumidifier offers two drainage methods:
- Gravity Drainage: Connect the 6.56 ft gravity drain hose to the drain port. Ensure the hose is sloped downwards to allow water to drain continuously by gravity into a suitable receptacle or floor drain.
- Pump Drainage: For situations requiring water to be pumped upwards or over longer distances, connect the 19.67 ft pump drain hose. The built-in pump can lift water up to 19.6 feet vertically. This option allows for continuous drainage without manual emptying of a water tray.
