I have a haier hpf12xhm-lp, but I don't have the owner manual. I want to know if it's possible to attach a permanent pvc hose to the bottom drain plug and let it constantly drain.

SOURCE: Drain hose attachment

Checkout this website...they have an owners manual you can download: http://us.lgservice.com/ A little hard to find, but it's there. In short, there is a small hole in the back of the dehumidifier between the cord handles. There will be a cap held in place over the hole by three small connectors. With some pliers, remove the hole cover. Take your hose connector and place it in the hole until it won't go any further (you can feel it hit the front of the water bucket). The instructions will show pressing the tab of your hose connector into the bottom of the hole to hold it in place. Don't know about yours, but mine is too long to do that. Connect a short length of garden hose to the threaded end of the connector and you've got it. Instructions say hose has to be flat leading straight from the dehumidifier to a drain, so don't place the draining end of the hose up in a sink or anything, use a floor drain. Hope this helps!

Many just attach the hose at the reservoir; from your description, Haier apparently has a separate location. Check that the point that the hose attaches has an opening (many don't, they expect you to drill it). It should then drain through gravity. Check to make sure that no part of the drain hose is higher than the bottom of the reservoir, otherwise it can't drain. It won't siphon because each time the the tank empties, the suction is broken and the siphoning can't continue.

How high up is your exhaust hose in relation to the unit - if it is too hight, the pump may be struggling to discharge the water.

I assume this is a vented model, where you have a large diameter pip exhausting air outside (Around 110mm wide) if so, is there also a smaller pipe to carry the condensate water?

check the hose connection,when new these units have a knock-out plug where the hose goes so if your only going to use the bucket and not the hose it wont run out the hose connection
