how much power dose the unit draw can you hook up a drain hose to the tray
1579686
I do not monitor the power draw but it does appear to shut off when not needed. I have installed a truncated garden hose to replace the tray function and it works fine.

Yes, you can hook up a drain hose (unit has to be placed higher than drain for water to evacuate). Don't know about power usage.
1579688
Yes and it comes with one but you'll probably want a longer hose depending where your drain is.

I can't tell you how much power the unit draws but I found that it increased my electric bill about $15 per month while it was running and there is a drain hose so you don't have to use the tray. The drain hose is short but you could hook up your own hose to extend it.

Not really sure about the power. Mine ran constantly. I did not use the drain hose bc it was too short but there is one included. Next season I was going to rig something fir constant draining.

It does have a drain hose, but it is rather short. During the summer I ran it continually and my electric was about 15-20 dollars more a month. It really was worth it. I live in the South and its very humid. I suffer from lymphadema and this really did the job. A lot quieter than most I've heard.

yes can be hook to drain do not know about power use but seems to be better than my old g e

The amount of power doesn't change if you use the tray or the hose. My electric bill has gone up about $15- $20 a month, but my basement is very comfortable to walk into. Doesn't have that moldy, musty smell anymore.

It limits. I have a device that pulls to much and it just stays warm, while only drawing max of 6 watts from the wall. I calculated this at 1.17 amp, which is as advertised. Used it a couple days at max (waiting for the 3 amp unit to arrive) and it didn't crap out.

The unit has a UL label on the bottom that says 1500 watts. I doubt if it actually uses quite that much power. I don't have a clamp on amp meter and decline to build a rig to measure the voltage and current while it is in use. You could measure the amount of water, the temperature change and calculate the power required presuming perfect efficiency. All of that I decline to do as well. Sorry all I got is the 1500 watts.If you are worried about current draw on a given circuit I expect that this thing will draw around 12 to 13 amps. That is a guess not a professional opinion.

It's not much. A standard 15- or 20-amp outlet (like one that is probably under your sink for a garbage disposal) will suffice.

Hello, This can be answered based on what you are plugging in - -or, your load. Literally, the cube is capable of supporting up to a 1500 watt appliance, and this equates to 12.5 amps draw. Most DC ports do max out at 15 amp draws. Please feel free to call our technical support department if you have any other questions or needs.Wagan Customer Care 800-231-5806

drill a hole in the front of the chamber, undersize the hole (slightly)for the size of hose you are going to use. They sell clear silicone hoses by the foot at Lowes. I think 3/16" ID would be appropriate for this size unit, anything smaller and the surface tension of the draining water might block the flow. Gravity will pull your water to a different bucket or sink drain. That being said, if you run your 2200 24/7, you'll probably burn out the power supply at some point.

Use the "Upper Drain Port" in the middle of the back of the unit. See my review dated 7/22/2014 for list of inexpensive parts to hook up a drain hose.

Every portable that I have owned has a drip tray with it. If not measure the distance between the dehumidifier and the drain and buy one foot of tubing more. This pump is for my heater and has a lot of condensate

Only if you hook the drain hose up to the pump outlet. This model also has a gravity drain outlet as well.

I am not sure without seeing how yours is hooked up. I have a hand held but it turns on by activating the valve on the main valve. I am sure it will work as the hardware for this is very good quality. My 6 ft hose reaches my sink and I use it a couple times a day. I really love it. When you use it in the sink you can see all the food particles being flushed out and it is good for your gums also. Go for it.

If you have a electrical outlet, that you can power on and off with a switch, near where the unit will be installed, you should be all set with the power supply. If you are connecting a dishwasher to the unit, you may need to purchase a universal dishwasher coupler to connect the drain line from the dishwasher to the waste disposal. Finally, you will want to be sure to have the proper plumbing parts to connect the waste outlet from the disposal to your drain.

I believe the unit would pull 20 amps so a kitchen circuit should handle the load. Hope this helps

There's going to be a leader (short hose) from your water source to the back of the sink that will supply water to the faucet, than another short leader from there to the side of the reel which supplies water to the hose. The two tan hoses will act as drains. One for the sink drain (large diameter) and one for the hose reel which uses water pressure to reel the hose up automatically. Than of course you'll have the water hose itself which I believe I used a 100' with no problem. Hope this helps!

Do you mean the drain hose, or the exhaust hose? If the drain hose, yes, but only if the AC is at a higher elevation than the sink. (Water runs downhill). If you mean the exhaust hose, then, no. The AC is drawing air from the room, and removing the heat from that air. The excess heat has to go somewhere (heat is energy, and energy doesn't just disappear, it has to go somewhere). If you blow that exhaust heat back into room, the overall room temperature will not go down. In fact, it may go UP, because the AC is also drawing energy from electrical outlet to do the work it is doing, and THAT energy has to go somewhere. So, no, putting the exhaust hose in the sink will not give you a good result.

The load I use this transformer for is 40 Watts, so the current draw is 3.33 A. I wanted a high safety factor as it is not in an easily accessible place.

its a 12 VOLT DC vaccuum the fuse in the plug is rated at 10 amps so it will draw less than 120 W

At 8 ft. discharge would be around 1700 gph. Outlet is 1 in. MNPT or 3/4 in garden hose.
