Can this be installed sideways outdoors or will water get in that way?

I think the whole assembly is water tight enough such that it can be installed in any position as long as it is not in standing water. There are rubber gaskets on all parts. Be sure to use water-tight electrical fittings when you install.

It has a mesh evaporator filter inside. Water flows into the top of the filter, trickles down, and any water that is not evaporated by the airflow comes out a drain in the bottom of the unit. So, it needs to be installed upright, more or less exactly as pictured. It *can* be installed on horizontal or vertical airducts, just as long as the unit itself remains upright.

It's not rigid enough so I would recommend putting it in an angle so water don't gather in the middle.

Hi Christine,I have mine ceiling mounted on a back porch. As long as you have a good deal at the top (silicone beed is what I used before tightening the more mount) I don't see where water would infiltrate. Very happy with the product durability and it has a good look to it. Hope that helps,Nick

Mike yes you can have the water come from the left or the right side of the tee and the valve part can set in several ways as to have it going strait through or have water going strait through + tee hope this helps

It can be mounted outside but recommends somewhere somewhat shielded. I mounted mine on a cross beam above the spare tire so it's tucked away. It does have air vents so not sure how water tight it is. Easy install.

It has some holes in the bottom and side for mounting bolts so you'd need a method to plug them. Not sure where the water line would fall once loaded.

you could install this filter in the horizontal, but all of the water will pour out of the canister when you change the filter.

It seems so, just by the nature of it..water gets all over it when your using it. I don't know about turning it upside down with water running over it.

When I received the one I ordered it was not askew. Prior to installing it, I would suggest setting it on a surface where the main body is level and locking the rear access panel. Is there any gaps? If so, I would want to do an exchange. It could leak in rainy weather.

It can't if it mounting on out side. If mounting on in side will not work, because will not open and will leak very bad.

Both sides are the same, so it can be oriented either direction. Just be aware the motor and electrical connection is opposite the drain side.

Yes I mounted it on a outside wall,I did use silicone caulk(clear) as a extra measure for water tightness

You need to double check to make sure you installed it properly. If you installed it hanging at and angle instead of level, rain water could drizzle inside. Water will also get inside if you forgot to mount it right-side-up after you've finished programming it.I normally just seal around the edges with a bead of silicone to prevent any water / insects from getting inside.You could try that and see if it helps.Cheers, Maurice

Yes you can install it on either side of your ductwork. I have mine installed exactly opposite of the photo shown for the unit here. While you purchase it, you might as well buy a spare filter for inside, it uses one per season in my area, probably due to hard water. I also hooked my water feed up to the hot water line in my house so that it can work at it's optimum.

The directions say it must be installed with it lower on the outside of the wall hole than the inside of the hole. In that way any water that gets inside because of condensation or rain will run to the outside of the unit. Good luck. Mine has been running 2 years straight with no stopping. I love it.

mine is mounted in front of the radiator off to the side up high....i do not think its water proof ...no problems during heavy rain so far
