What does the water come out of above the bucket? Is it a hole or small tube? Size? I want to remove bucket and retrofit drain tubing to that opening

It drains into a small hole within top of the pull out container (from bottom rear) so not like larger traditional unit you can hook external drain to! This unit doesn't pull enough to warrant the external hose unless leaving for long period but it does have auto shut off float. This is best for a desk area or corner of a room with light moisture. If looking to pull heavier moisture need traditional machine. I've had best luck w/the Samsung brand. I hate all Frigidaire products but their dehumidifiers are getting high marks.

The drain is located at the back and I use a hose to drain the unit. It is not easy to put the hose on and it does block the front bucket from going back on but I had to do this because I have it in a 4 foot crawl space. I suppose the outside of the hose that you put on the drain could be trimmed down, however I have not had any issues so I left it the way it was. Hope this helps you. The unit has been running for about two years in the crawl space.

When i take it out of the fishtank its still hooked to the faucet,i just put it on drain and fold it up and let it drip out at the faucet. Hold it up higher so it drain out. I then put it in tube in bathroom .

What i did to my bucket was cut a notch out from the top of the bucket where the hole is (utilizing the hole, make a U shaped notch) that way, you can take the hoses in and out of the bucket without removing the air stone. Another added benefit to this is that you can add the other two hoses to these buckets without drilling another hole. they will stack on top of each other and the lid still sits nicely. hope this helps.

Matt I used a 1 and 1/4 " hole for my connection, but to sure just measure the PVC Connection that goes threw the bucket, the item they sent me is black threadedAnd has a rubber gasket attached to it to make the seal. I hope this helps good luck

not big enough to remove the stopper from the drain, but slightly smaller than drain diameter. no problem at all for me to pick up the grid and take out the stopper.

its an odd size, not a garden hose. I found hose close enough and put a clamp on it to hold it in place. works fine, better than trying to empty the bucket.

It's a quick connect fitting. You push the end of the fitting up towards the tubing. The fitting end should move a slight amount, and the tubing should be able to be pulled out. It may take a little force.

The unit has a single out hose. It's designed to pull air in from the space and dump the hot air out via the hose. It also takes moisture out of the air very well, so you need to make sure the drain is setup for the drainage of the moisture trap or it will overflow.

Condensation goes out the hose. No need to empty a bucket with the condensation in it.

it connects to the drain line,may need to be cut because it is taller than standard drain basket

Somewhere outside your home there should be a sewer clean out opening that has a screw on cap. I created a 18" riser which I attached to the clean out. I then attached the doggie doo drain to the riser. I hope that helps!

read the instruction manual. there will be a section on this. i believe there's a "cap" that needs to be removed first. but it's likely you do not have the drain hose LOWER than the unit so it cannot flow correctly.

the drainage tube inner diameter is 5/16 and outer diameter 7/16 and 12" long. i purchased a longer tube from Home Depot and elevated the unit. heat ends of tubing in boiling water and insert tubing cap to slightly expand tubing end so it creates a snug fit on unit drain.

I want to say its the 3/8 clear plastic tubing that I used, the kind that comes in 10 foot lengths. It required me to really force it on there, but once it was on it was very snug. They also sell it by the foot- so what I did was take 2 inches or so home with me to check that it would fit, then I came back and bought the full length. Remember it must be gravity drained as well- which in my application required me to build a little riser out of 2x4s so I could raise it up enough to get it to drain. Worst engineered product I've ever bought I think!

The bucket is tapered. The top is about 1.75 in and tapers to about 1.25 . .The bucket is about 1 and three eights inches deep. My drain is about 1.5 in deep so it fits perfect for me but may not seal if your drain isnt as deep.

I simply drilled a small diameter hole into a 3-gal plastic bucket from a home improvement store, and slid the waterer in. There was a plastic nut that secured it from the inside. I assume it is the same for the cooler. Just remove the original cooler tap and slide the waterer in. I've had mine for two years and it works great. I'll buy another when mine ages.
