can i install my apec reverse osmosis system in my garage? it gets cold in winter.

— asked by Jason

No, you should not install it in an unheated garage. The system must be installed indoors, in a location sheltered from environmental damage.

Fix: Find an indoor location. Under a kitchen sink is standard. The feed water temperature must stay between 40°F and 100°F (4-37°C). Water freezing in the lines or housings in an unheated garage will crack and destroy the system.

If that didn't work: If you have no indoor space, the only alternative is a conditioned, insulated space like a heated basement utility room that never drops below 40°F.

Heads up: Also avoid installing it under direct sunlight or near any heat source. Temperature extremes are the enemy.
