Product review (3 stars): The kinks and drains of old
It works.  However, the hose was terribly kinked, which could have been avoided just by packaging it rolled instead of folded.  This created a difficult installation and uncertain drainage.  Also, I wish it could be a closed system instead of an open reservoir.  The short hose coming from my dehumidifier simply lays into the pump's reservoir through a simple oversize hole in the top of the reservoir, then as the pump detects a certain level of water it turns on and pumps the water out through the attached longer hose, which I have running out of a hole in my foundation.  The situation this creates is that if the pump ever fails, my dehumidifier will continue to dump water into the pump's reservoir regardless of whether it is getting pumped out or not, which means it could eventually overflow into my crawl space.  If it were a sealed drainage system, the pump's reservoir would fill up but not overflow, and instead would backup into the inlet hose and push back into the dehumidifier's reservoir eventually causing it to turn off once that reservoir is full.  Having said all that, I am enjoying not having to go into my crawl space twice a day to empty my dehumidifier.  As long as everything keeps working, it's great.  So I'm happy... just a little nervous.
