Can you hook a drain hose to your dehumidifier and run it to a sump or other type of drain in your basement??? Mine goes to a sump-- I haven't emptied it in 7 years.

I'm in the process of setting up a 135 in my semi finished basement-- this tank is going to be maintenance friendly (water mixing and changing anyway)....
