4.5 Condensate Water Removal
The Quest 150 Dual drains via gravity, therefore, it does not have the ability to push condensate (water) uphill. The drain
hose must run downhill toward the drain location. Condensate can be drained by using the 5/8” clear vinyl hose and the
3/4” threaded adapter provided. Ensure the threaded adapter is threaded in tightly.

CAUTION!
The Quest 150 Dual requires a drain trap. Creating a drain trap allows a small amount of water to
build up in the trap area of the clear hose. This prevents air from back flowing through the hose and into the dehumidifier;
essentially causing the unit to backflow water out of the corners of the machine. Position the trap in the hose
approximately 8”-10” from the dehumidifier and make sure the highest point of the trap is still at least 2”below the black
drain port adapter on the dehumidifier. If the highest point of the trap is above the drain port, water will back flow into
the dehumidifier. Check the hose regularly to ensure water is draining properly.
Several trap options include:
Use care to keep the hose as flat to the floor as possible
after your trap is in place. Be sure the hose is not kinked or otherwise restricted so water can pass through the hose
freely. Improper installation of the drain hose may result in water leakage.
If the Quest 150 Dual is located too far from the floor drain and the provided hose does not reach, you may use a 1/2”
PVC rigid pipe to extend the drain. Rigid PVC tubing is readily available from your local hardware store. Be sure the
extension is at a down-word slope to the drain.
An optional condensate pump kit may be installed if lift is required to remove condensate. To order, contact your local
dealer or visit our website at www.QuestHydro.com. You may also reach us by phone at (800) 533-7533.
