hi,
i have a dehumidifier i have to empty at least twice a day, so i'd like to connect a condensate pump.

I'd like to run the hose into the waste water line for my clothes washer, is that OK to do? it would be the easiest place to do it, otherwise, i'll have to figure out a way to run it through one of my windows, i guess (I don't have a drain or sump pump in my basement).

thanks in advance.

Should not be a problem! Make sure washer water is not going into pump hose

Perhaps its possible to hook up a hose to your dehumidifier and then attach one of these pumps:

certain dehumidifiers such as the one from Comfort Aire allow you to hook up a hose. You can then use hook up the pump above to pump out the water some distance.
