By the way, my basement is finished, and I don't want mold problems. If
you think I should get a dehumidifier to further reduce humidity, then I
think the only convenient logical place to drain the condensation would be
to install a T fitting into the existing narrow PVC A/C condensation drain
pipe. (and presumably some dehumidifiers have the ability to pump the
condensation upward through a tube which I would connect to the T fitting.
If I want to avoid having to empty out tanks, then is the setup I just
described a good setup?


I have a dehumidifier running in my Pennsylvania home basement in the
summer. If you have a clothes washer down there - you can run the drain
tube into the washer drain tube. That way you will not to empty the
tank. You will have to mount the dehumidifier high enough to drain by
gravity.
