Hose Drain: Heating, Cooling and Air Quality

Overall a good device that really does the job of draining moisture. Caution: When connecting to a continuous drain hose, you must vent the hose line. What does that mean? As instructed, I attached a hose to the unit and ran it across the floor to the sewer. I didn't drain it through the hose, I poured it into the tank. Because? There is no vent in the hose line and without AIR to replace the water flow, water will not enter the hose. Solution? I used a simple Y hose adapter that allows you to connect two hoses to the same faucet - these can be bought at any hardware store for a few bucks. I attached it to the hose adapter on the back of the machine, with one connector facing down and the other facing up. I attached my hose to the bottom fitting and left the top open. Now the device fits in without any complaints. It only had to be ventilated so that the water got into the hose.
