Outdoor Locations
It is recommended that the equipment be installed indoors.
When the water conditioning system must be installed
outdoors, several items must be considered.
• Moisture — The valve and controller are rated for 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, upwards spray from
sprinkler.
• 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.
• Temperature — Extreme hot or cold temperatures may
cause damage to the valve or controller.
Freezing temperatures will freeze the water in the valve.
This will cause physical damage to the internal parts as
well as the plumbing.
• Insects — The controller and valve have been designed to
keep all but the smallest insects out of the critical areas.
