what is the internal condensate pump for? why doesn't the dual hose model have one? do you leave it installed all year round?

It tries to disperse the water back into the airflow. The dual model is designed differently, it has the outside air incoming into the motor cabinet and that same air is then sent back outside. Yes, I leave mine out year-round, as I also use the fan mode for white noise in wintertime.

your spa should have it's own internal pump. Myself, I would not connect my spa to any outside pump. The 2 pumps work at difference pressures.

I would not recommend buying this unit. I am on my second one and they do not keep the product cold. As for outdoors I have no idea the compressor is in the back and could be damaged by rain adverse weather.

no but is much easier. for condensate drain ,worst case situation you would have to install a condensate drain pump that can be install along the line to pump the condensate water out

I can only speculate that the tank is not draining either because something is clogged or the pump that pumps condensation build up to the tank is broken.The time that I contacted Danby about maintenance questions they were of no help at all which is why I will not purchase another Danby product. If you contact Danby they are going to tell you to tote your unit down to a repair center. The condenser coils should be cleaned annually but Danby offers no instructions on how to do it yourself and will not want to hear from you. Danby people are jerks.

The unit must be vented outside. A window is the most convenient, although I vented mine through a wall.There is only one hose on my unit.

Carl G I would like to know why you needed an oil lubricated pump? Changing to wet rotor may be an issue because of the clearances...if it stops it might only a small particle...I once had some system "goo" hat stopped one...it took washing it out with diesel to get it back running. Both engineering submitals indicate the NRF22 is about 2GPM less than the LR20BF at 10ft head...so here's the thing...depending on what system youre installing it on...most systems were designed for 160f DHW or 180f HWH water so by putting this in (I dont know your system but I would do it) you'll have a slighting lower flow rate...in DHW who cares as its no big deal...BUT in a HWH system your control valves will open more and this is a seriously good thing in modulating valves. There will be a larger delta T so I'd also lower my boiler temperature by at least 20f assuming youve some form of condensing boiler...this will help ensure youre in condensing mode. Circulate fluid...not temperature and you'll save a lot of money. Make sure your side stream filter is clean and check it a few times in the first 1-2 months because the more flow means the more crud is likely to get back to your HEX...if there isnt one put a Y strainer in and add a "sock" on the screen for a month or 2). A possible problem is how many zones open/ resistance decreases across too many different circuits/ zones...too many and there wont be enough. The system I installed this on it is actually the primary circulator through a 2xwall HEX serving the HWH off the DHW system...it works so well Ive been promoting it/ its been installed on 3 systems in this last year (its not my J.O.B but I do design energy and conservation projects as is my profession). Last, make sure the expansion tank is on the pump inlet side/ the return (DHWR or HWHR)...these high speed pumps cannot handle even a minimal bit of cavitation. All the best

Firstly, it fits a standard hose. Secondly, the screw helps to retain the item to the faucet. When I used a in-line fertilizer or sprayer it prevents back flow into the household water supply. It is not intended to be used as a gap for freezing weather. No intelligent home owner should leave a hose connected to a faucet during freezing weather. There are special faucets available with a freeze plug for outside and in ground use. Remember this item is for back flow prevention and if used as intended it works very well!!! Willis R Jamison

Not sure about being the only one. I changed my water pump too, AC Delco. The original was a two piece, separate housing and thermostat. This one seems to be doing the job for the past 8 months.

Mine also arrived with a good bit of condensation inside -- decent amount of water inside the canister, and condensation all on the pump. That bugs me. I can't see how it would just get wet from condensation, and I can't believe that they test each one of these things with water (if so, what kind of quality control do they have in their manufacturing process?) . . . makes me think I got a returned one, which annoys me since I paid for a new one, not a used one.

As far as the compressor unit goes, you probably can, but the condensation hose MUST go DOWN from the indoor unit or you will end up with a watery mess and damage indoors.

You need to exhaust it outside but the condensate is supposed to have an evaporation system but you may need to drain it.

Mine did not come with a hose. I suggest you by the hose with a single gaugeas the gauge lets you know if the amount of freon is to low, or in the correct range, or to high.

I put the unit on a small platform (4" high) and used a cheap furnace moisture pump and some tubing to force the water out. There were shallow condensation pumps available but I didn't think they were worth the extra cost. Be careful with the amount of tension on the tubing, I broke my drain because I constantly move the thing depending on how I am using and where I am in the room. (my office and gym are one in the same plus some times you just want a fan blowing on you) I used a little marine repair putty to fix it and haven't had a problem

I am an HVAC Contractor, please read the installation instructions, you must have a 1/2" condensate drain line run from that drain port to an approved floor drain or a condensate pump to an approved drain. These are condensing water heaters as such need to eliminate the condensation that they produce. If you live in a cold climate area, most codes prevent you from draining it to an outside location due to freezing. I would highly recommend you have a licensed HVAC contractor check of the installation.

We've had our Koldfront for a few months now, there isn't any water. As the description states: The unit features an internal condensate removal system that will handle all but the most humid environments saving you the trouble of manually emptying a water bucket. This is very true, we've had no water issues. We didn't run our system 24/7, only as needed. I suppose it you use it 24/7 you might have water. What I'd also like to mention is this unit is GREAT! We have a 3 bedroom rambler and it cools the house very well.

It would be best to call the mfg and ask those direct questions. Do not use a thermostat , it's best to replace all hoses and clamps. These were suggestions from the mfg. Evans seems to act as though it is thinner then water so it will find minor leaks that may not have shown up with water and antifreeze . I suggest you call the mfg and speak to a company rep for your application.
