For continuous operation without emptying the bucket, you can connect a standard garden hose (not included) to the unit's low-level drain. The unit includes an adapter with a clear hose that pushes onto a smooth plastic fitting inside the unit. This adapter has male hose threads for attaching a garden hose. Ensure the hose is routed downwards to a suitable drain to allow gravity to remove the water.
