If you’re not doing so, would recommend setting it to drain into a condensate pump that automatically discards the water for you, either down a drain, into a sump pit, or outside of the house (a foot or two away from your foundation and at the appropriate grade). Very easy to set this up, requires attention only when the pump or dehumidifier dies.
Recommend next time get a humidifier and a separate condensate pump. Pumps last a long time. Dehumidifiers are usually crap and die after 2 years.
