6B.3 Cold Water Make-Up
The cold water make-up may be connected to the
tank or to the inlet of the boiler as shown in Figures 23-
26. Install back flow preventers and shut offs where
needed or required by code.
6B.4 Freeze Protection
Brute Elite heaters are not certified for outdoor
installation, so the chance of freezing is minimized. In
an event such as power outage, component failure or
other issue when freezing is likely, the heater and
system must be drained to avoid the risk of damage due
to freezing. Glycol must
NOT be used in volume water
heating applications.
