When You’ll Need a Dehumidifier With a Built-In Pump
Sometimes, a dehumidifier with a built-in pump is by far the best option:
- Basements without floor drains: These dehumidifiers allow for vertical drainage to a utility sink or window.
- Crawl spaces/tight rooms: Where manual emptying is a hassle or even impossible.
- Remote areas: Where vacation homes or rentals need constant operation without supervision.
- Continuous use: Get the benefits of uninterrupted dehumidification without the hassle.
- Home with high humidity: Standard tanks filling up quickly? Switch to a dehumidifier pump.
Why Choose a Dehumidifier With Pump?
Why take the hassle? A dehumidifier with a pump beats other solutions for:
- Hands-free drainage: Forget manually emptying the tank.
- Flexible placement: Leave wherever and still feel the benefit.
- Vertical drainage: Pumps water upward to reach elevated drainage points.
- Long-term, unattended use: Ideal for 24/7 setups, you can set and forget.
- Continuous protection: Prevent moisture buildup from damaging your belongings.
- Less time, less effort: Set up once and let it work its magic.

FAQs
What’s the difference between a dehumidifier with a pump and one without?
Dehumidifiers normally drain with gravity, but a pump system can actually push water to a higher location.
How far can a dehumidifier pump water?
Normally around 15 feet. That's more than enough in most cases.
Can I still use the water tank if I don’t need the pump feature?
You can usually use the water tank without the pump.
Are pump-equipped dehumidifiers louder than regular ones?
It’s possible for the pump to make a little noise when running, but it’s usually no louder than a normal dehumidifier.
Do I need to install anything extra for the pump to work?
No! Just connect the drain hose to the pump outlet and the drainage location.
Will the pump automatically activate when the tank is full?
Yes. Most models automatically pump water once it reaches a certain level.
Can I use one of these in a basement or crawl space?
That’s the perfect place to use them.
How do I clean or maintain the pump system?
We recommend flushing the pump system with a mild detergent solution every few months.
