Do you need the hose or can I just open the sliding glass door and stick the unit in front of the screen?

The point in the hose is to close up the house from infiltration of heated outside air. The hose fits to the vinyl closer for either a door or window that allows that to happen. If you were to simply put the unit in front of a door and run it, it would be like leaving the door to your refrigerator open all the time - it would put some cold air into the fridge, but would be horribly inefficient. Hope that answers your question.

It's all flexible hoses - including the drain. The unit can be moved (a short distance) with the plumbing attached.I put hot and cold water shut-offs low in the wall where the original tub had been (like you would for a washing machine). This allows hook-up prior to sliding the thing into place.

You do not need a hose, it comes with a plastic container where you pour the soap and screw on the faucet, under the countertop

No, you will need to order a connector of the proper size and hose, as well as hose clamps.

The actual unit is not in a window, but, there is a hose connection from the Frigidaire that must be installed in a window to act as the vent for the unit.

No "auto-drain". Open the drain and either put a bucket behind it (in which case unit will have to be elevated above the bucket), or run a hose from the drain out the window (in which case unit will need to be elevated above the end of the hose the goes out of the window).

No. The pet door is flush with the sliding screen door, so I would have to completely block off the pet door to completely close/lock the glass sliding door. (I had to drill the pet door to secure it to the slider rails to avoid some rattling.)

Yes, you just need an adapter hose that is sold at most hardware stores and possibly wal-mart.

No hose is needed. I've used mine many times, aiming it so the water shoots out the top hole back into the ocean.

You can run it through a window with a screen but you have to adjust the screen to the new smaller opening size. I have my unit vented out a screen door and had to purchase a window extension to make that work.

Read in the instruction if your getting the hose with the quick connection, you will not need the filter, anyway I called and checked into this and this was what I was told from Mr. Heater?

You don't as far as I know. There is a screen so nothing bigger then 1-2cm gets inside. If you want to flush it out you can place your hose connected to your spigot over the top connector and run water through it while it is not plugged in.

Yes and the unit comes with the hose connection kit (except for the actual water hose). However, I found it very difficult to install. All I had to do in previous owned units was screw the hose on. You have to install a small plastic tube inside the unit and it was very difficult to get on. I finally found a YouTube video that suggested putting oil or Pam on the inside of the tube to slide more easily.

Very easy.....turn off your water supply, disconnect the hose and pull the "pin" that it swivels on. You may need to rock the unit a bit to pull the pin/pipe out. The hose and reel should be stored inside.

As the opening for my sliding glass door was 96 inches, mine is located in my screen track rather than my door track. Where we live in California, this is generally optimal in that we would prefer the door open but the screen closed. The top of the dog door slides down a little allowing it to then release back up into the door track. As our door is deeper in the frame, the slide down did not go far enough for us to angle it into the door frame, but it was enough to get it in the screen frame. Once there the sliding section at the top can be tighted in place.

The screen attaches to the where it will be placed by adhesive backed velcro. As long as you have a flt surface to attach it to it will work fine. Be sure to note that in the measurements: the screen is 35 inches and if your opening is also 35 inches it will be too short. Part of the screen width is a boarder that must overlap to the edge where it will be mounted. I was able to successfully attach it to the sliding glass door after repositioning it to the velcro a few times.
