    Can this be used in a basement with a hose drained into a floor drain?

    Please read the title of the product! It states (in part) "... with a drain hose". If it includes a drain hose .... you figure it out!

      Yes, running the drain hose to a floor drain works fine. You always want some water in your floor drain to keep sewer gas from backing up into the basement. Obviously, it won't do any good if the basement is flooding due to water backing up the drains.

            Just Fits My Garage
            I recently purchased a Moiswell 145 pint commercial dehumidifier for my garage and I am very pleased with the results. Not only has it effectively reduced the humidity in my garage, but it has also significantly improved the overall air quality, giving me that sun-kissed smell when I walk into the garage.

              Great for my basement
              This dehumidifier worked really well for my basement which has begun to have an odor and signs of mildew. this on worked much faster that the small dehumidifier that I used before, it’s super powerful. Great purchase for anyone looking to protect their basement or crawlspace.
