Can it be mounted outside for a Florida home (Stays above freezing) on a well? Our piping is run under the foundation so no place to install inside.

I am a plumber . I install about 6 a year inside. I dont no what the sun will do to the Plastic. Call the company that makes it

Well, ordinarily, we don't think of Oregon (at least in the Willamette Valley) as a cold weather state. But it got collllllld here this winter for a few weeks. I have pipes that run along the side of my house from my exterior mounted Rheem and those I wrap with an electric heat tape which only goes on if it gets to about 33degrees. The heater itself is protected internally by small heaters which are attached in various places and do a good job. That leaves the inlet and outlet array (which includes the valves and TP valve) which the heat tapes are hard to attach to. So I leave a small amount of water running at night and during the day when no one turns on a tap for an hour or so. Somewhere between a drip and a stream. That seems to do the trick. This summer I am going to put the pipes inside the wall and put the heater in an inclosure that you can buy from Rheem that fits into the wall, and my hope is that I will not need any more protection.

Never tried it, but it would probably work. I would think that a bracket "designed" for a well might be better as it would distribute the weight of the fan over a larger area.

Oh I really don't think so, the cover is not water tight and has vents for heat to escape.... I'm sure if installed in a cold weather area it would freeze up... It's a fine indoor product and has saved us money on our water bill, and a little on our gas bill... Electric bill went up 3 dollars a month...

In the description it says it is safe for outdoor installation, we never installed it outside. The base shown in the image has screw holes in it and is what you would use to mount it outside. It comes with screws to be able to mount it to a wall or some type of support.

it should be protected from rain and freezing temperatures.so it can be mounted outdoors but in a weather protected location (ie. a box). used mine under a tarp one summer.

You probably could, but you wouldn't be able to use it in below freezing temperatures. You would have to drain it, which is easy as it has a valve designed for it.

I would not mount them on the outside just for the reason that it would shorten the life of the fan as it would more than likely get water in it even if it were protected. If your opening is large enough to trim a little of the sheet metal from the edges of the fan and mount it "recessed" from the outside wall face a few inches it will be out of the weather especially with a decorative cover. That is the method I used and have had no issues.

I don't see why not. What this product does is shoot a solution into the fitting where the hose attachment attaches to the pump and it shoots a solution into the pump that pushes out the water and adds a bit of antifreeze and lubrication solution to protect your pump from freezing and cracking when the out side temperature drops below freezing. i live in Wisconsin where the winters are extremely cold I use it to prevent my pump from freezing and cracking and it works really well for that.

I installed mine on the roof AND the gutters as it would be of no value if the gutters froze solid. Ice dams would still form without a way for the melted water to get away.

Technically speaking, this is not an outdoor camera. However, contrary to what others may tell you or you may read, it can be placed outside if you mount it where it will not be exposed to direct or wind driven rain. Three of my six FI8918W cameras have been mounted outside for three years and they continue to function flawlessly. They have been exposed to extremes of temperature from below zero to nearly 100F as well as the high humidity of fog. They're doing just fine. Mount your camera on a covered porch, carport, or under a protected eave and it will be OK. Also, try mounting it upside down with a six inch diameter piece of rubber sheeting (available at Home Depot in the plumbing section) sandwiched between the base of the camera and the mount. The rubber will act as a drip shield.

It can be used outside if it is mounted as not to be sitting in water, ice, or snow (preferably under the eaves of the house).

I have it mounted on a pergula in our patio to provide airflow. It has been out in the weather for more than a year with no apparent problems.

You can mount it on or into the ground, but it won't stand without some support. I have mine mounted on the ground, but it is along side of my house, so I have an antenna mounting bracket from the house to the mast, about 10 feet above the ground. You may be able to sink the pipe about 18 inches or more, into the ground and it may work out if the antenna you are putting at the top is real small.

The Envi works by reflecting heat on the wall it is hung on. The wall ABOVE the envi gets fairly hot! That hot wall is what heats the room... more so than the heat escaping from the Envi. I've located my Envi about a foot above a hot water baseboard that I was concerned about. I'm not running that hot water baseboard much, so I've been afraid the pipes would freeze. That's why I installed the Envi! So far, in my application of a far bigger room, and installing the Envi on an OUTSIDE wall, I haven't frozen any pipes. Tomorrow? We'll see! If you use yours differently, and don't leave it on, your mileage could vary as well! There are few guarantees in life!

I haven't installed them above ground however , depending on your location (ie freezing temps) I don't see why they could not be installed above ground. Mine were submerged under water briefly and still work fine. The inlet is 3/4" female threaded

It can be mounted on a roof or most any where near by. The only limit that I can see will be the ability of your pump to push the water. I would try it out where you want it before I mounted it.
