Recommend next time get a humidifier and a separate condensate pump. Pumps last a long time. Dehumidifiers are usually crap and die after 2 years.
If you’re not doing so, would recommend setting it to drain into a condensate pump that automatically discards the water for you, either down a drain, into a sump pit, or outside of the house (a foot or two away from your foundation and at the appropriate grade). Very easy to set this up, requires attention only when the pump or dehumidifier dies.
More important than that, probably, is to run a dehumidifier in your basement. Anything above 50% RH the termites don’t mind. Below that, they’d rather be elsewhere.
Well, and also because I can express my hope that a piano fall on Spez’s head.
Commercial grade I cannot speak for, consumer grade are all garbage, you’re lucky to get 2 years out of them. A pump alone you’ll get 8 years, maybe 10 years.
