  In an effort to automate or otherwise make easier tasks that I have to do. It's also looking ahead in the future if I am unable to do things my wife won't have to work as hard.&nbsp;I attempted to make our dehumidifier so it no longer needs to be emptied. This isn't as easy as you might think, for we have our basement split into two with a doorway between both, and the dehumidifier needs to be on the side that the drain is not.
What I've been doing is emptying the reservoir daily but even in a 24 hour period it automatically has been shutting off since it is full. What I did to eliminate this daily chore is drill a hole in the side of the water bucket which already has a threaded area at the bottom for a hose connection. I placed the unit on a table about 3 feet high on the&nbsp;one side of the&nbsp;basement, but near the doorway.
I threaded a 25 foot hose to the bucket, running it along the wall, behind things, and finally ending at the drain on the other side. Leftover decorative rocks were used to hold the hose in place so it would hopefully not move when draining. Hopefully this will work and make it so that no one will have to empty the unit ever again.
