We have a dehumidifier in the basement which discharges into the pump to the furnace and humidifier which discharges outdoors. This unit runs every day and has for the past 5 years even in the winter. No problems. Keeps the humidity around 40-45%.

Default dehumidifier

I have a Santa Fe, it drains into a condensate pump and there is a hose that goes through the sill and pumps outside. There is a sensor that you can set so it turns on and off when the desired humidity is reached. Its not cheap like would find in box store but they are much more efficient and should save electricity in the long run. I shut it off in the winter. Its plenty dry in the winter, no need to run it.
