Can this unit be hooked up to suction instead of outflow?

It probably could ,but why would you want to do that . Think about it you would have a sterilized filter. You want good bacteria in you filter. Also a valve should be hooked up in front so you can control the flow of return . The slower your tank can handle the better it will work

Not sure if it can be hooked up this way but even if it can it is a bad idea. You want the UV filter to be AFTER all other filtration to reduce the amount of contaminates that could potentially become trapped inside the UV tank. The more 'gunk' you allow to get trapped inside the UV tank, the less effective the UV bulb will be. As others have also pointed out, you also want to keep the good bacteria in your filter element. Despite the filters and/or UV treatment, it is the good bacteria that is doing the majority of the work in keeping your water balanced and (hopefully) clear.

I don't believe so, they have a specially designed valve thing for the vacuuming. U just press on the lid and it goes out the mechanism. I don't think this would work with an other devices. The valve thing has a 'skin' over it to lock air from coming back in, I don't see how you could bypass that.

Yes, it's possible to do so as long as you run the drill slowly and take enough time to do the job properly. Move the unit back and forth several times every 6 inches and pull the end free of the vent after every couple of feet. It might help also to be running air thru the vent as you're cleaning. I used my shop vac with the hose reversed. Messy on the outside of the house. . . . but it did the job

Yes, you can. The unit comes apart very easily. I flush out mine about every six months.

I would not alter the system itself because of the design when it looses suction. There isn't really a good way to add anything to what you are given here. Maybe with some customization to the case where the pumps are or something. Just saying it relies on the direct flow to and from the tank to work. Would be really nice if the designer could have added more features like a chiller though.

never tried it, but I'm guessing that if you would elevate it so that there would be a gravity feed, it might work if you can get the suction started.

No. it actually works better the higher it is because it pulls better than it pushes. Moving it to the high point of the pumping cycle takes full advantage of its suction strength.

The quick answer is no, not without modifying the hose attachment or the window. But this unit has a more serious problem. Mine quit running at less than one year of use. I have just ordered another unit, This time going with a brand name I know, Honeywell.

No, not this unit. There are other units made that are designed for the purpose you propose.

Yes you can...you just have to prime the pump...you will need a back flow valve at the end of the suction hose which is sold separately by various companies

No. That would result in failure of the pump. The suction accessory if meant to be used as a fume extractor and an SMD part pick up tool with the included attachment. You must buy a solder pump or wick to remove solder.

Yes you can but it will take a lot longer to pump up and if you have the right adaptor for it

Yes. My prior humidifier had a drain pipe which led into a small pump. That pump pumps the overflow into a drain. If you have a drain readily available I assume you could run a line or tube into that drain.

The inlet to the pump is not "garden hose" size, it is made to fit the vacuum only.

I believe it can, as I think vacuum system can be used. You just have to be able to connect the vacuum system with the unit and so, must have the appropriate connector. So, if you can use the same connector hose it will work fine.

It would be a bit awkward but you could use this to pump out the reservoir, However, it won't be able to get any of the fluid that is in the system other than in the reservoir.

No. The indoor unit uses gravity to feed the water condensation outside. This requires a hole from the inside to the outside about 2 3/4 - 3 inches in diameter at a slight downward angle. Through this hole passes all of the indoor-outdoor connections, the power supply and the drainage to the outside.
