    Abstract: The present invention relates to a laundry treating apparatus (100) comprising a cabinet (1); a drum (2) disposed inside the cabinet (1). The drum (2) has an inner space for receiving laundry therein. The laundry treating apparatus further comprises a duct system (3) including an air discharge duct (31) for discharging air inside the drum (2) to an outside of the drum (2), an air supply duct (33) for supplying air to the drum (2), and a connection duct (35) for connecting the air discharge duct (31) and the air supply duct (33) to each other as well as a fan (49) for moving air inside the drum (2) along the duct system (3). The laundry treating apparatus also includes a heat-exchanger (4) including a heat-absorber (41) disposed inside the connection duct (35) to remove moisture from air, and a heat-emitter (43) disposed inside the connection duct (35) to heat air passing through the heat-absorber (41), a water collector (37) for storing therein water removed from air passing through the heat-absorber (41) and a water ejector (39) disposed in the duct system (3) and defining a water flow path for suppling water to the heat-absorber (41) to remove foreign substances remaining on the heat-absorber (41). There is also included a pump (5) including a pump housing (51) having an inner space for storing water therein, an impeller (58) rotatably disposed inside the pump housing (51), and an impeller driver (59) for rotating the impeller (58). The laundry treatment system also comprises a water flow-path controller (7) including a valve (74) to control to discharge water in the pump housing. The pump housing (51) includes a pump inlet (511) communicated to the water collector (37); a first pump discharge hole (513) communicated to the water ejector (39); and a second pump discharge hole (517) communicted to the water flow-path controller (7).
