How can I improve a dehumidifier to floor drain interface?

drywall_dan

I have this drain in my basement: The green hose comes from a dehumidifier (not shown). The PVC pipe comes from the furnace (or heat pump?), though someone on Reddit suggested it might have to do with radon. I would like the hose to drain directly so that no water ends up on the floor. Is there a grate I could use for this? Or should I cut a hole in the PVC and route the hose there. Other suggestions welcome!

Great question — answering as the UphillTech team:

Clean the grate there's a build-up of crud that's causing the puddle. Clean the seat of the grate it's not seated properly. Make sure that the green hose ends over the grate and not just near it.
