In the humid area I live in... Near the gulf coast I had a dehumidifier in my home recording studio mounted over a fibreflass washtub,
with a .875" hole drilled an inch below the top, fitted with a 7/8" hose connector, leading any overflow thru a 1" id hose thru the wall
near the floor to the outside of the bldg.

Prior to adding the hose I was emptying the 2 gal tub avg 4 times a week.
But....not once after adding the overflow hose...
