Humidity

I’m having a hard time keeping my humidity level at 55% or below. Especially with lights off. I do have at 30 pint humidifier but feels up pretty quick with no way to continually drain. Any suggestions.

Small fountain pump on a timer to empty.

What Jypsy said. It wont take much. A small, cheap 20 dollar aquarium sump pump will do it. Run a hose from it to a large plastic tub you can get at Walmart, hook it to a timer to run every 8 hours or so, then you only have to check the large tub once a day and empty when necessary.

NOTE: DO NOT FORGET TO UNPLUG THE PUMP WHEN YOU GO TO EMPTY THE TUB.

Do not ask me how I know that.

They make condensate pumps that you could hook up to the dehumidifier drain.

most dehuys these days have a hose hook up??set it on a milk crate let it drain into a 5 gal bucket beats buying a pump.
