I was told i don't need a water supply for this, is that correct? I live in an apartment and do not have an outside supply, so that is very important

You NEED a water supply - you might be able to attach a hose to a kitchen sink faucet.....but you definately need water.

No. The instructions that came with mine indicated that no water is needed.

It does require a water line, this particular model comes with a pump, so it needs access to a drain line, but not a drain right under it.

When I spoke with New Air, they told me that the only thing I would need to do is empty the water...and the unit will let you know when it needs to be emptied. There is a water plug and a hose that comes with the unit. I have not had to empty the unit yet...possibly because I have only used it for heating so far. I will know if I need to drain the unit when I use the air conditioning.

I don't know if it is necessary but we do it as a matter of course. It is so easy to do...we just run hot water in it (keeping the fan dry) and then wipe it out before adding the night's water. This is a great product!

No. It's fine with a little water missing. Actually, the water will evaporate a little over time anyway. We usually fill it back up, but it's fine without it.

Search for My Video review on Youtube My Channel is "silverbankruptcy"It Requires a Dedicated Water Line. It Requires a Drain and mine is Gravity Drain, they have a Model with a Water Pump, if needed.

No you don't have to, however in our area it works better outside than in. Just check to see which one works better and put it up there, works Great!

no. This is not need for this unit. Unit mount on the outside of house and is self vented.

there is no reservoir, that's the beauty of this kind of humidifier. no stagnant water sitting in a tray. the water enters from the top, cascades through the filter and discharges via a flexible plastic hose at the bottom. you need to have a floor in reasonable proximity to the unit. at least in the same room.

you don't need any of that stuff its very straight forward you have 3 in ports and one out portthat takes a 3/8" hose that connects to the out port. it pumps the water up to 25 feet highit uses 110 volt electricity it has instructions but I hook these things up all the time. It has diagrams for A/C hook upsbut I don't use them for that so I don't use it I use mine to pump water from the dehumidifies and my A/C evaporatorswith is only water it does not control the A/C unit. I have three of these units and didn't have any problems with any of them.I use dedicated circuits breakers and circuits for each of these units. you don't need any of that stuff its very straight forward you have 3 in ports and one out portthat takes a 3/8" hose that connects to the out port. it pumps the water up to 25 feet highit uses 110 volt electricity it has instructions but I hook these things up all the time.

No, taps into cold water supply and an electric outlet. No plumber needed but u been a outlet in the area.

I'm not sure the unit is intended for external installation. Mine is under an inside sink. That having been said, the water connections are on the bottom. it seems to me that if you shut off the valve and unscrew the water connections, the water would with the help of gravity, drain out of the unit.

Yes. The water comes directly from the wall outlets not the tank water supply.

It's not a requirement. If you feel that your water pressure is low like I did, then i believe it would help to provide more pressure. I'm no expert though so please do find a second opinion.

Yes you need to drain it. If you are running it continuously and you don't drain it the water will drain onto your floor.

I have a hot water supply near my toilet. It comes with reasonably lengthy hoses to hook up to the hot/cold water. Unless your sink is really far away from your toilet, you should be fine with the hoses it comes with.
