Our Eco heater is mounted outside our garage by the pool. We built a box to protect it. Boy does it work great.

Ecosmart heaters are designed for either indoor or outdoor use. Units must be mounted on a levelbase parallel to the ground. Allow6 clearance at sides and at least 18 clearance at top and front forany maintenance or repairs. Installation needs to be performed by qualified electrician and plumber. For full use and installation instructions and requirements, please review the installation/owners manual at wwwecosmartus.com.

dont think so; if anything (incl. rain) touches the metal, it will switch on and off, and its not sealed for outside use

I think it could be kept outside if it is covered. It is made of durable wood so I think it would sustain the heat but I don't think I would leave it out in the rain.

I believe that is how most heat pumps are installed. There is no problem with rain hitting the unit.

This light cannot be used where it will be directly exposed to rain, as water will collect inside the bulb. But it can be used outside where it's sheltered, such as under an eave.

Standard outlet is OK but I would not expose to the weather. Using it in a covered shed would be OK but not sure about rain. Also be sure to get the fan and exhaust hose. The heat generated will blow bulbs which are expensive without the exhaust fan cooling them down.

Per the instruction manual from -10 to +50°C. The outdoor unit need to be under shade and shield from rain.

It has to be used outdoor if using propane, and yes, the unit can be damaged by rain or snow, so it's better if you cover it. But do not bother buying this and hoping it will work on propane. Mine worked for a day and failed. No customer service, no parts, only speaks french (which I do). DO NOT BUY!

I use mine outside every year. I would not recommend it being left out in the rain however as the water would get directly to the motor.

Not sure. Mine is installed in my boat where rain can't get to it. It works great but I can't answer your question about being installed where rain can get to it.

Johnathan, let me make a clarification to my earlier comment. Technically this enclosure is rated NEMA 3R. But in the spirit of your question your were trying to determine if this device could be USED in the rain. The direct answer to that is an unequivocal NO as the NEC, National Electrical Code, specifically forbids it. While it can be mounted on exterior surfaces it only meets NEC requirements so long as it's cover is closed. Covers such as Hubbell's TAYMAK addresses this situation for standard devices - outlets and switches. I do not know if they manufacture one for this particular purpose. Just shield it as I suggested earlier or mound it away from any direct exposure to the elements. Good luck!

This is definitely not weather resistant and would most likely cease to function or create risk of electrical fire if used out of doors. If left outside only during good weather it would probably be fine.

Don't see why not. Providing the unit is in an enclosure that is protected from rain.

Only if installed in a covered patio type area that is not subject to rain or moisture, it's not rated as a weatherproof electrical fixture.

Yes, it can be placed outdoors. The critical controls are protected by a clear plastic cover. Make sure your power source is fully grounded if you live in a wet environment.

This is an email reply I received from LEDwholesalers : While this item may be used outdoors, direct exposure to rain is usuallynot recommended. For example, installing this bulb in a fixture underthe eave would be better. Make sure that the bulb is oriented downwards(does NOT have to be vertical down) to prevent water from collecting atthe light socket.

Yes, so long as structural integrity is maintained (not dropped or a tree fell on it, etc.). Even the controller on the rear of the panel is sealed, and the connectors are all shielded from weather. Mine has gone through numerous wind and rain storms with no problems. Not sure you can immerse it in a lake, but should be OK otherwise.
