DRAINAGE OPTIONS
INTERNAL WATER TANK (ECD30 and ECD50 ONLY)
The 30L and 50L models are provided with a 7 Litre removeable water tank. When the water tank is full,
the machine will automatically shut down and enter standby. The display will show the TANK FULL icon
and an alarm will sound. Once the water tank has being emptied and put back into position, the
dehumidifier can restart operation.
CONTINUOUS DRAINAGE
This range of dehumidifiers can be set up for continuous drainage. The ECD30 and ECD50 use gravity fall to dispose water
hence the drain should be lower than the dehumidifier water outlet. Be sure to run the water pipe downward and let the
water flow out smoothly. Do not kink or bend the pipe. The ECD70 has a built in uplift pump, but for the other models the
drain pipe can be used in conjunction with an external uplift pump when the units are used in a cellar or similar low level
applications.
ECD30 and ECD50
Use a flexible pipe with a 12mm internal diameter. Remove the drain plug from the pipe connector on the
base of the water tank. Route the pipe through the hole in the side of the unit.
ECD70
The ECD70 does not include an internal tank, and instead includes an internal uplift pump to extract the
water collected. A 6 metre drainage pipe is provided attached on the side of the unit. If this needs to be
extended, we advise to fit it into a pipe with a larger diameter, and ensure the larger pipe is travelling
downwards. The uplift pump collects water, and then when a sufficient amount is collected it will be
automatically pumped out of the unit through the drain pipe. It can be used to raise the water by upto 5
meters to drain to a sink or drain. Please note this is the maximum height, and will be affected both by the
diameter of the pipe used, and the total length of the drain pipe.
To ensure effective performance of the pump, it is advised that the pipe is routed so that the upwards
section is close to the unit. After the upwards section of the pipe, it should have a gentle downwards slope
to prevent backflow to the pump, and aid drainage.
