Yes, it does have a built-in pump.

I really only saw it 'in the flesh' for a minute, about a week or so ago, so I can't really say for sure.

These and a lot of other problems are yet to be worked out. I noticed that the current owner (I'll pick it up on Tuesday) has it vented to the outside... I'm guessing that he has the input & output both going outside.

I'd really like to put it in an enclosure, outside with freeze protection. I don't know if the compressor has a built in heater like the mini-split units do, so there may be problems with that approach. I've really gotten used to the kind of quiet that mini-splits give you.

The weather here is such that air conditioning isn't needed very much. I have a good bit of figuring out to do.
