This pump can be installed indoors or outside in the open. It will withstand the elements without any problems.

Yes. It needs to be place above or next to the return so the generated chlorine can be circulated through-out the pool.

Yes, the unit can be located outside - it is supplied with a cover. However, we always recommend that it be located in a protected area - preferably in an enclosure if possible. Some customers dig a hole and place the tank into the hole for protection and to hide it from direct view. If using an enclosure is not practical, try to locate the softener out of the direct weather, like under the eave. CAI Technologies. Please note - this is only our equipment if both manufactured by and shipped from shows CAI Technologies. If shipped from indicates others, this is not our product. hope this helps!

While the unit does work well, I would NOT use the item in an outdoor application. It is not designed for un sheltered environments.

Yes you can. I am using it right now to divert the water from the sump pump to the street or the back yard. In the winter I cannot divert it to the street because it will freeze on the sidewalk or the street. So it drains in the back yard. When temps are above 32 degrees then I change it to the street. Works very well.

I don't see why not. What this product does is shoot a solution into the fitting where the hose attachment attaches to the pump and it shoots a solution into the pump that pushes out the water and adds a bit of antifreeze and lubrication solution to protect your pump from freezing and cracking when the out side temperature drops below freezing. i live in Wisconsin where the winters are extremely cold I use it to prevent my pump from freezing and cracking and it works really well for that.

No. The inside unit is not built for the outside weather. You need he outside module for that.

Yes, it is a good idea to use it no matter where you store it. It is a lubricant for the pump.

Sure. This may be obvious but you simply want to avoid sucking dirt, sand, leaves, or whatever junk may be in a creek, into the pump. If you can avoid that then it's no problem.If the creek has a strong current you may need to anchor or weight your pump.

First, I would not put this fountain outside, unless it is securely anchored and I mean securely anchored! Second, it must have an electrical outlet for the pump to operate.I have my fountain on my covered apartment balcony where it is protected from the elements especially wind.I am very pleased with the performance of this fountain!

I believe not. The pump must get its water from a water barrel or similar non-pressured water supply. Hooking to a hose would not work.

I do not believe this is for your application. This is an above ground pump.

You can use the pump outside the bag. The pump is attached to the bag with Velcros. It is easily detachable...

Yes you can use it outdoors. right now I have it in a fountain out side on my patio and works fine.

Based on other feedback and reviews I have seen I would not recommend that. There is a circuit board in this pump that controls all of the various operations and I have read reviews that stated if it gets wet/damaged, the pump is not operational. I have my pump in a pool equipment shed along with the filter and heater and even with that, during the winter months I will be covering the pump in plastic to ensure it does not get wet/damp.

The power cord comes attached to the pump. If you are an electrician or know one, it would be possible. I would just plug it into a timer that is rated for all types of weather.
