A:AnswerIt matters how humid the environment is ,I use in a bedroom and unit has about a gallon to two in 4 hrs.
If you hook up a hose this unit will pull a ton of water,needs to be emptied 2x a day,but have never run till
It shut off on its own.
A:AnswerThis model doesn't have a pump, so the hose must be below the level of the drain plug. If your drain hose is above the level of the drain plug, it will drain back in the tank and cut off when full as you described. This may not be your situation, but I thought I would give you a possible solution.
