Outdoor Locations
When the water conditioning system is installed
outdoors, several items must be considered.
• Moisture – The valve and control are designed for
use in NEMA 3 locations. Falling water should not
affect performance. The system is not designed to
withstand extreme humidity or water spray from
below. Examples are: constant heavy mist, near
corrosive environment, or upwards spray from
sprinkler.
Caution:
This unit is for dry location use only unless
used with a Listed Class 2 power supply suitable for
outdoor use.
• Direct Sunlight – The materials used will fade or
discolor over time in direct sunlight. The integrity of
the materials will not degrade to cause system
failures. If it is necessary to locate the conditioner in
direct sunlight, an outdoor cover (PN 1267811) over
the valve and control is necessary. Valve skirts
(PN 1267808) are available if further protection is
required.
• Temperature – Extreme hot or cold temperatures
will cause damage to the valve or control. Freezing
temperatures will freeze the water in the valve. This
will cause physical damage to the internal parts as
well as the plumbing and conditioning resin. High
temperatures will affect the control. The display
may become unreadable but the control should
continue to function. When the temperature returns
to normal operating limits the display will re-appear.
A protective cover should assist with high
temperature applications.
• Insects – The control and valve have been
designed to keep all but the smallest insects out of
the critical areas. Any holes in the top plate can be
covered with duct tape. The top cover should be
installed securely in place.
• Wind – The cover, when properly installed on the
valve, is designed to withstand a 30 mph (48 Kph).
