As long as water can completely drain out of the hose due to gravity, (no rising sections of the hose that can trap water, or collapsing hose sections), a longer hose should work.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes and no. The garden hose connector will work. The documentation says there is a 3 ft limitation on the hose length. Author's opinion: guess is you can run a longer hose, but results may vary. For example, a dip may trap a bubble that can't be pushed through due to lack of head.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I suppose so, but instead, I purchased 1/2-in ID x 10-ft PVC Clear Vinyl Tubing to extend the provided drain hose slightly to an existing floor drain (I had sufficient "drop"" to maintain water flow thru the entire 10 ft of tubing). Vinyl tubing was cheaper than garden hose.
