I'm moving my tumble dryer and will need to vent into a condenser so I'm trying to make one out of tupperware and duck tape. Two things; will the dryer hose need to go beneath the level of the water in the tupperware and will the tupperware top need piercing to stop a build up of pressure? Any thoughts AB'ers?

Condenser units are fairly cheap and wil avoid nackering a perfectly servicable piece of tupperware.


If your determined though, the hose will need to connect in some way to the lid (not beneath the water line as this will just force the water out and may damage your tumbledryer with the back pressure). The lid will also need to be vented. You can then either freeze water in the tupperware or just use cold water.


Most condensors i've seen have a central spike within the base though not sure if this is essential.
