A couple months ago I made a short about the water pump on my air conditioner that I added. It's been requested a few times that I show how I originally installed the water pump on my portable air conditioner. This tutorial is for LG air conditioners and it will vary from Manufacture, but the process is usually the same.
The pump I used: www.amazon.com/dp/B0196WL55G?...

For all those that are asking I do plan on putting a much bigger intake hose onto the air conditioner I finally found all the parts that I needed and will be making a video in the future

Would it be better if you used a table to just stand the unit on it and run the lines out the window and let gravity do the rest? Also, have you thought about using dryer vent tubing to keep it cost effective? I like your thought process. but which ever is easier.

It would have to be a pretty sturdy table This thing is extremely heavy It takes two people to carry it up the stairs also the hose would have to have a 90° bend going back down which would add turbulence. And yes a dryer vent would be a nice insulator for the hose but so far the second 6-in hose actually has been doing a pretty good job insulating the first one It doesn't get warm at all.

dude, you're so cool! I just imagined if I could use a small water pump to drain my AC and then bingo , I found your video. One question, I heard there's self-evaporated AC. Do you have any ideas if there's disadvantage of that option? I doubt why even some modern AC do do not provide that feature.

My LG air conditioners and many others do have a little motor inside that flings the water around on the condenser that should help it evaporate but of course if it's really humid the water tends to pile up fast. If you're talking about evaporative coolers they are used a lot in the desert but unfortunately are useless in the Midwest or south where the humidity is very high. Hopefully that answers your question

I'm curious as to why you put the little blue hose on the exhaust opening on the right rear of the unit? Unless yours is different from everyone if these type units I've used they have two exhaust openings in the rear. One for the duct and the other is capped. Or you could run twin ducts. If by chance yours has one exhaust and one intake (the one on the right) then you've got to be choking it with the size of the blue hose.

Correct a lot of these LG's only have an exhaust hose and will use the room air as intake. I am currently looking for a larger intake duct that I can modify and make it easy to remove and put on every season The 1-in hose is just something I had laying around and it does help a bit. The negative pressure has decreased in the room. Once I do modify a much bigger air intake on it I'll probably make a video about it
