Basement – What are the options for a basement floor drain

basementdrain

I'm in the process of finishing my basement and I'm trying to figure out what to do about the existing floor "drain" by my furnace and water heater. Frankly it looks like it's just a whole cut into the basement slab and I doubt it's been built properly.

What are my options for retrofitting this into a proper floor drain that can take the AC condensation runoff, humidifier runoff and any possible water heater leaks?

Here's a picture of the existing floor "drain"/hole with the current piping from the dehumidifier and furnace:

Only proper options are the options. You'll need to seal that up so Radon & Water can't come in, stop the creation of a sinkhole under the house & get a condensate pump with a pipe into the plumbing or to the outdoors. Unless, you have actual real plumbing within 10 or so feet, then you may still be able to do a gravity drain or break up the floor to do so.
