Are you sure they said that? I find it hard to believe because regardless if the cannisters are UV resistent, they use a steel mounting frame and metal covered gauges. My guess is after a year the mounting frame and gauges would be all rusty. As for the water softener, I'm positive the control is not water proof so that would fail eventually unless you covered it.

I've never seen a Nova system installed outside.

I have seen another manufacturers water softener installed outside but it had a special cover.
