does it work with an outdoor installation?

I believe it should. The connection and the box should be out of the weather though. I have had mine operating in a damp cellar for 3 years now. It is a must have for me.

I don't believe it is water proof. With a bit of plastic covering it it might be ok outside. I'm not sold on its effectiveness at all in any application. I have had one in for many months now and I'm still going to get a water softener due to water spots etc. Sorry.

I believe the Clearwave is a scam! Ours hasn't solved our hard water problem. You'll notice that they give a money back guarantee. But they also say it will take longer than the guarantee term to see if it works!!

i had mine installed about 3 inches from the outside wall because it is electric i felt that it would not be a good idea to expose it to the washington rains by looking at the exposed wires and wire rap .i did not see and thing in the instructions which would not permit it .

See Jack Y's comment as well. It won't work in any installation, because it's a scam.

I installed this outside of my home but i put INSIDE a plastic box to protect from the weather..IT did not do that good on my home we still had build up and got rid of this and bought a Water Boss from Home Depot..Water Boss i have outside in a plastic shed and works great..Save your money on that clear wave...

No, it doesn't. Actually, if you wish to put it outside, you need to order another part for it.

It is electronic, so I wouldn't put it outdoors. However, please read all of the comments here: it doesn't work!! Don't buy it!

I would definitely say yes. I installed mine on an exterior eave in the rain, and then it rained three more days - workes perfectly.

I would not install it outside unless you can cover the unit from the weather.

No, I wouldn't say it's an outdoor device. But I did seal all the edges with epoxy glue to prevent moisture from getting into it, then mounted it outside under the eave of my roof to watch my driveway.

Yes. Mine is under the eave of the porch roof and works great even it triggered by a remote motion sensor. However, it needs an electrical socket to plug into. Also, it's not very loud over 70 feet and it must be kept dry.

The unit should mount on the exterior of you home without issue. It has a protective flip cover that will protect it from the elements.

I have used it exclusively outdoors. I installed about 5 of them. 1 of them went out almost immediately. The others have worked well for about a year now. My lights are under the eaves of the house, and therefore not exposed directly to rain.

Yes. Works best if it is outside. Just make sure it protected for harsh weather.

It can be mounted anywhere there is a 110 VAC outlet available. There is no reason it has to be mounted outdoors. Be aware there is a slight 60 cycle hum when it is turned on.

We mounted ours in the garage. I don't know if it can go outside. It works well for us!

In the description it says it is safe for outdoor installation, we never installed it outside. The base shown in the image has screw holes in it and is what you would use to mount it outside. It comes with screws to be able to mount it to a wall or some type of support.

Yes, we had everything we needed to install it. Works well as an outside doggy gate at the top of our deck steps. Have to be very careful opening or the bottom pin pops out if the bracket on hinge side. The pin should have been longer. It works but we don't open it often.

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.

Would work outdoors, but need to pay attention to whether the fastening screws are rust resistant.
