Title: air conditioning condesation pump

Last spring I installed AC. By the time it was running to my satifaction, didn't want to do anything but enjoy it. I bought a sump box with a pump to take care of the condesation from the AC. I like a dry bilge. My question is,
Where have others run the drain hose? Could run it back to where the bilge pump exits, but that's a long run.

Jim,
I have a "Condensator" from Mermaid Air. Has worked well for 12 years.

Aloha.
I just had the condensation water t'ed back into the seawater outlet hose, with a small filter in the line. Works fine. Susan

Susan,
Isn't there a chance of the seawater backing up through the condensation hose and flooding the area?
