Do I need to empty a dehumidifier?

27th Apr 2015 | |

Most of our dehumidifiers pump away water automatically and don’t need emptying.  Our equipment tends to pump out and be self-draining via long hoses that can trail to the nearest sink/drain/outlet.   If we can’t find a self-draining route then you can use one of our tubs, which would need to be checked and emptied daily throughtout the drying period.

How dehumidifiers work is by colling air to condense water vapour from the air.  This water vapour is collected in a tank which either needs emptying or pumps water away to a drain.

For dehumidifiers that need emptying, many of them have an automatic shut-off in the event of the tank filling.  Daily emptying would tend to be required.
