can this pump be installed in unprotected area, no shade?

If you are concerned about how the elements will affect your pump, Amazon sells a nice PVC cover that protects very well and allows for adequate ventilation.

Mine is in an open area. I think as long as you keep the LCD screen/control panel cover closed except when you are using it, you will be fine. The pump housing seems to be the same material used for Pentair's non-programmable pumps which can be used without being covered.

Yes it can, but like all things, it will deteriorate quicker than spending its life in the shade or better yet protected from the elements altogether.

My pump has done fine in an area on the side of my garage. I would call customer service at Pentair. They are very helpful and I'm sure they can give you a definitive answer. Hope that helps a little.

I used this switch on my boat; however, it need to be installed somewhere protected from the elements. If you have a such a place with easy access, I highly recommend this switch.

That would depend on where you were putting it. It is not weather resistant so it needs to be in a protected environment.

I would think not. The pump stops when there is no sun, so it would freeze up at night.

Ours is installed in an exposed but covered exterior entrance way where it gets wet from blowing rain and mist. It does not get rained on directly however. Appears to be fine.

I don't know....mine is inside. I guess it'd be OK outside as long as it's undercover, & not continuously exposed to direct sunlight.

I am using it as my sump pump but would think you could use it outside. Its under water all the time unless the pit is dry. Just keep the plug dry.

Mine was in a screened porch under heavy shade trees. I would not want it rained on or in strong sun in order to protect the wood and prevent color damage.

It does not look like it. Its not built for an outside pump. I guess they only had building a built-in pump in mind and tried to eliminate any other kind of pump from being bought or used...

Not unless it has something to rest on like an existing shade. It can't stand on its own.

No. This safe is not weather proof and not really secure at all for any type of outdoor installation. I would never recommend you attempt such a thing. This safe is ok, and I'm glad I have it to hide away some medium-value items to keep away from nosy roommates, babysitters, family members, children, etc. This safe would never deter and would barely slow down an actual criminal. Keep your money in a bank account.

For an interior installation, no. If you are going to run it outside (unlikely with HDMI cable) you should enclosing in metal or PVC conduit.

I put it on my roof. It will have more to do with your pump/filter as to if it can pump it that far without stressing the pump.

This lamp does not have an all weather enclosure, but if you place it in a protected area, it should be fine outdoors.You will need the proper socket for it to work.

No, it's not meant to be exposed to the elements unless its installed in a way that it will not get wet.

I would not install this over the roof top exposing it to exterior elements. run it through your addict if possible.
