Z- man,

I had a similar situation in the basement but found that emptying the dehumidifier bucket was a real chore, easily forgotten or postponed and of course. while it is off because the bucket is full, the humidity levels rise.

So I got a condensate pump about $70 and plumbed the bucket to the pump with a piece of garden hose. I think most buckets come with a knockout for this purpose.

I plumbed the condensate pump to the outside with a length of compressor hose and it's now doing a fine job, no human intervention required.
