I have a 3/4" OD vinyl hose coming out of my new dehumidifier that has to snake about 4 feet to get to the sink it drains into. At the moment, I have it supported in a couple of places along the way, but it sags in between, which allows water to pool. I had this problem with my old dehumidifier, and the stagnent water tends to grow mildew & mold, and can eventually clog up the hose.
I'd like to lash it to, or support it with, something that would keep the downhill run even, without the dips. One idea would be to take a 1/2" to
3/4" wide flat strip of aluminum, and cable tie the hose to it. The thin part of the strip would be vertical, and would easily bend to follow the path of the hose, but wouldn't bend vertically. A thin plastic strip would also work.I seem to recall seeing flexible plastic cable raceways that would preform the same function, but I may have imagined it.
Any other suggestions or ideas?
Thanks!
