Direct Hose Drainage

Just got this unit. Immediately attached a hose direct to a floor drain. After two days, catch bucket is completely dry. Does the hose bypass the catch bucket completely? Is all the collected water going out the hose with no water ever getting in the bucket? Thank you.

Yes, using a hose for continuous drainage bypasses the catch bucket.  If the seal on the hose connection isn't tight or has a bad gasket, the catch bucket acts as a backup.
