Does anyone has their DOS pumps installed outdoors? I live in the San Diego area and we typically don't get a lot of rain or extreme temperatures. I use the DOS for auto water changes but this so loud in my living room that I only run it from 2 am to 6am so everyone is a sleep. I have my storage bins outside along the same wall as my tank. Right now my DOS is my tank cabinet.
I would like to move the DOS outside next to the storage bins. I was thinking at a minimum building a wooden cabinet I could mount off the ground or trying to find a weather proof enclosure that it will fit in. It would be mounted were the sprinklers don't hit and up against the house to limit exposure to elements.
Does this sound like a terrible idea? Has anyone done anything similar? Tips thoughts?
