Can this system be installed with the filter in the horizontal position (copper pipe is running vertically)?

I don't see any reason that would prvent it from working in the vertical position as long as you follow the inlet/outlet flow positions. it's the directional flow of the water and not gravity that gets the job done.

Yes as long as you have the closing valve vertically. Make sure the filter is placed so you can change it.

Yes, that is how I have it currently installed. During installation I called the manufacturer and they advised it was possible to mount in any direction.

You need about 2 and a half feet to install the sensor and the chlorinator. So I reran my piping out of my filter up and over and back down so I'd have 2 1/2 ft. horizontal pipe.

Yes, my plumber was able to get it mounted straight. I took some adjusting but it is possible.

YES: I just emailed 3M Filtrete asking if I could mount this horizontally. There answer they gave verbatim is "Thank you for contacting 3M, where we Apply Science to Life, Construction & Home Improvement Markets Division. The Filtrete(TM) Standard and Advanced Under-Sink Water Filtration Systems can be mounted horizontally. If you need any further assistance, please feel free to contact us directly at 1-800-388-3458.

Mine is mounted vertically with the water coming in the bottom but I don't see why it couldn't be the other way.

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.

Annette, it can be installed facing backwards, so I think you can use it without reverting the manufacturer intended flow direction. I hope this help.

If you mean vertically, i'm sure it can. Mine is mounted horizontal where the water fitting is on the right and the air fitting is on the left. It shouldn't make a difference as this is just an air bladder assist. Hope this helps.

Yes, regulators can be installed in any position. I installed the one I purchased in the vertical position. Just make sure you have the direction of flow correct. There will be an arrow or "in", "out" markings on the body.

No, it needs to be installed vertically. The bulb on the bottom floats on the water, rising up and sealing. It wouldn't work horizontally.

If the fan and filter are hanging horizontally there no problem. However if you want to hang the fan/filter vertically You will need to use something on the fan to make the fit more snug than add your clamp. I used masking take as it is thin enough to find in the small space and than once it was a tight fit I threw the clamp on. The clamps are not nearly strong enough to bend that metal and make it a snug fit. Good luck, John

Yes the tank will work in a horizontal position. It is actually easier to fill in the horizontal position.Jon

Yes, it can be placed vertically or horizontally. If you place it horizontally it makes it a little harder to turn the adjustment knob. Just set if before you put it in the tank.

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.

I'm not sure. Had a custodian install mine ... and it actually ended up not being a flush mount .... there was a pipe we didn't anticipate ...

This system only really pulls from a max of 8 inches in front if it. I am not sure the filter is correct either. It is only about 6ish inches across as well. I do not think it will help your situation.

Yes, but the unit will have to be positioned horizontally at that shallow water depth. You can remove the bracket and lay the filter directly on the bottom of the tank to make the profile shallower. This unit is larger than most people expect, but as long as the vents on the side are covered with water, you should be fine.
