I don't believe you need ARC approval for something like this but if you are concerned you can have it installed up against the wall parallel to your house so it's not as visible as the one in the picture you posted. You can also paint it the color of the house or put a shrub in front of it. I also agree, how is this any different than when your neighbor installs a pool heater/filter equipment or a mini-split condensor on the side of their homes? Several of our neighbors have these filters and you can't believe how much dirt and debris they are filtering due to the retention ponds being so low recently. With the filter you have only one point to clean periodically vs 30 or more sprinkler head filters.
People living north of 466 don't need an irregation filter becasue their irregation water is the same as the drinking water. South of 466 it's mildly treated strom water or non-pottable water.
I'm sure if you put in an ARC request, it would be approved. The fact that they didn't complain when someone contacted them is probably proof of this.
