Installing water softener outdoor?

[DB Tsai]

Location: San Jose, CA

I plan to install water softener outdoor under direct sunlight, and I want to install big blue sediment pre-filter, carbon backwash filter, water softener, and then big blue sediment post-filter.

Are they able to install outdoor under direct sunlight and rain during the winter? I see the document from Pentek's big blue filter, and it says it can not be installed under direct exposure of UV.

Do you recommend any brand that is rated to be install outdoor? How about water softener and carbon backwash filter that can be installed outside?

Any recommendation for local supply or online vendor is welcome.

Thanks!!!

You can use a cover to block the sun.

In general BB filters pre/post are not necessary in most municipal applications. As to the softener/carbon tanks, you will definitely want one designed for outdoor use. PM sent.
