What unit do you recommend for a outside install in Florida
324080
In Florida you can install it outside. You need to buy a system that has a cover for the valve. Fleck valves have this option. You need to protect the tankfrom light due to the growth of algae. Algae will foul a softener over time. Two ways to eliminate this problem. Buy a stainless steel jacket for the tank or paint the tank with2-3 coats of a dark color semi gloss or gloss paint. You need to apply a primer first like gliddens gripper primer. I would go with any fleck system that has a cover for the valve head.Fleck 2510 SXT is an example of a covered valve.

I couldn't find any information that said the Fleck 5600SXT 48000 grain softener could not be mounted outside. Only to protect it from freezing. I have had other units over a 10 year period here in Florida, most of them mounted outside and have had no trouble. I also protect them from sunlight to prevent the electronic display from becoming unreadable.

why do u want water softner install outdoor? it does not take a lot space. it only generate a little noise when the system is regenerating. I do not know any outdoor units. I am not sure if fleck 5600sxt head is designed for the outdoor plus the pass valve is neither stainless steel nor galvanized steel. sorry I could not be more helpful.

Direct wired unit, this is better- you can buy longer wires and choose way you connect it/ plug in or use separate thermostat.10/2 wire required. Depend on installation you may use flexible conduit.

Sorry I cant tell you that. I gave this unit to my son. He loves it and says it lasta long time, by that I am not sure. He lives in a top story apt. that has no installation so it help alot in the summer heat. Just remember to leave an opening at the other endof the house so that it can work properly.

This unit needs to go outside. You can get other units that can go inside but they do require additional venting

Needs to be installed in an open area where it can take in large volumes of air and also needs to exhaust through the roof unlike the electric units?

This is a great unit with a small footprint. Very efficient and we love it for the winter months here in Central Florida. It is a wonderful value for the money. I do hope this helps you decide.

Get a heavy duty one and measure the area between the outside wall and inside wall make sure you get one thats adjustable to that width.

I have one of these in use now for about two years. You can have bushes, etc in the way. Ours is mounted 450 up our driveway, and our "receiver" module is inside the house, by a book stand. Definitely, the more stuff you have in its way ADDING also a lot of distance, and you won't get what you want. But, I most certainly got what I paid for. It's a bargain and a very reliable unit!

With instruction manual in hand, it states can be intended for indoor or outside use. It also states to install with weatherproof fittings if mounted outsided. Hope this helps.

unit needs to be mounted on exterior as that large opening is the vent, draft is at the bottom

That will be a good idea or if the place you want to place it has a lot of sun light, is better to use this ones: Frostfire 16 Bright LED Wireless Solar Powered Motion Sensor Light (Weatherproof, no batteries required) Just install it and forget it. They are cheaper on ebay. But be sure that says (motion sensor) because there are a cheaper one that are (sound sensor).

Would recommend power center, Ic40(is that is your size) and sand filter. Then add salt.

Use 2 of these units. One mounted on the front windshield and one on the back. You may need an extra long power cord for the rear.

This unit should be mounted inside or at least should be installed where it is not exposed to the elements.

We have 2 on our outside porch. This the second season and I hope to get 3 more. They got pretty beat up during hurricane sandy but still work. A pain to install.
