what kind of continuous drain is used - length and kind of hose?

The unit comes with a hose that's about 6 feet long. My unit is placed in the center of my basement far from the basement drain. I threw my hose away, but as I recall, it was a simple push on to the unit rather than a garden type hose.Without the hose, you will have to empty this unit daily.

draining into a basement sink using forty inches of the hose that came with the unit.

It's a one inch plastic drain that is about 4 feet long. We have it draining into a drainage hole in our basement. Very effective dehumidifier!

I have the dehumidifier- hooked up hose to back threads and put in drain (but its above in sink) does this need to be drained in ground as it is not draining & is there something I need to turn on/ off to use continuous draining? TY in advance!

It's funny, my wife and I were on the fence about getting this because we also couldn't find that info! Anyway, there is an outlet valve to which you can hook up another garden hose. Then the hose can drain wherever you like. We have it leading into a large bucket/pail which we periodically empty. Hope that 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!

We hooked up PVC pipe to drain the water further away from the sink. We used zip-ties to secure the PVC pipe to the sink. Worked great!

The sink drain hose is roughly 5-6 ft long and 3/4 inch in diameter. The drain hose for the reel is about 10ft long and 1/2 inch in diameter.

The drain hole is the standard size. You can use any drain from the Home stores.

I use an old garden hose for a drain hose for my dehumidifier. Had to cut it to lengths and cut the end off to get it through the wall to drain outside.

Yes and it comes with one but you'll probably want a longer hose depending where your drain is.

Any standard drain will work. I used a brushed stainless drain to match it best.

I would say that you may not have the continuous drain hose installed correctly or else you may have a defective unit. Mine has had a hose on it right from the start and it has worked perfectly now for most of a year. Good luck!

The drain connects to 2" pipe, either PVC of ABS. Be sure to use an appropriate cement - either PVC to ABS od PVC to PVC

What do you mean? I dump mine into a nearby sink. If you mean continuous drain, you'd attach a hose to the back of the unit, and that could go into a drain.

Sorry for the late answer...we ended up buying a 1-1/4"x8" 17 Gauge P.O. Plug Finger Touch Style Drain Without Overflow Holes - Chrome - #J-814-PCH from PlumbingSupply.com. ($50 plus shipping...ouch.) We are having the sink installed this week...fingers crossed that everything goes well. I can't wait to see this sink in action. It's perfect for our new 32" x 72" powder room.

You can find 12 - 16" lengths online sellers (google). If you want it longer most plumbers can supply.

Just a regular garden hose. I use a short length to make pumping out my boat easier. The longer the hose height you use the less amount of water (GPH) it will pump at a time. Make sure it is dry after using it on the inside
