Is there an easy way to add intake hose to this? Looks the hose bracket can be attached to the intake side as well.

There is an air intake. I looked at it quickly, and tried to pull the intake screen but it did not readily pop out. Keep in mind it is designed to dehumidify as well so if you pull air from an outside source and it is humid it may not cool or dehumidify as designed.

Jacob, The machine has the ability with a secondary opening for an intake. (at least the model that arrived when I ordered in July 2014). Your only issue would be that the package doesn't come with an extra hose, hose attachment brackets, and the window adapter only has one opening for the output. Maybe it is possible to order those minor pieces from the manufacturer.

I sadly have not hooked it up yet. I did open it when I recieved it and anything you find about needing better hose and install parts in my opinion are absolutely correct. I did alot of googling before purchase and the hose and connections were the only gripe I found.

this unit has the capability of adding more hoses, if you find the proper hoses for sale yes it can be added.hoses are really easy to snap together . Hope this info helps you out.

The hose does not have a provision to attach anything. You could change out the hose, add an adapter and an air pressure regulator. It would have enough air capacity for your intended use.

they came with a new hose, just change it. for a better look and working better, I suggest using pvc pipe. You can get this pipe in any hardware store and it very easy to install.

I actually had to use epoxy to attach the hose to the pump. And that was a smaller hose than is attached to the filter. I used an adapter to make them fit together.

I just "shoved" the hose onto the filter cylinder. It has held on there with no problem.

I didn't even use the hose, I built a wooden box to line the AC vent with the vent plate I mounted to a piece of plywood that stays in the window all the time. It takes up a lot less room this way and looks a lot nicer too.

Nope. different hose adapter. look for the quick release type. Not the screw on.

My plumber used threaded angled fitting, approximately 7 inches in length that then attatched to the intake hoses. Go to a plumber supply store not big box or ace.

An easier way to do it would be to just lay a 2" steel pipe across top. The brackets would fit right over that. That's the way I did mine.

we use a shopvac with the hose on the side that blows out. we have attachments that fit from a small bower.

Hi Ross. I did it some time ago, but I seem to remember that there is a stainless mounting bracket (use butterfly anchors) and the unit slips over the bracket. I DO remember it was easy. THe unit is well made and will last. I have two of them.Best - Jahn in Cincinnati

I had the same question and never had it answered. I ordered the hose and had to return it. It does not have a standard attachment for the outside fixture nor did it fit a connector that I had.

That inlet adapter shown at the top is detachable. Once you remove that piece, you can screw in a garden hose. And, that thing on the top is not an inlet, that's where the water is pumped out.

Looks like the hose OD is about 1 1/2" on mine. But I suspect you can use different pvc fittings to make other sizes fit also. Its running now!

I believe you can buy an extension for the hose. Not sure if amazon sells it. I bought mine from a small business.
