It is the responsibility of the system designer, not Grant UK, to determine the necessary components for and configuration of the particular system being designed including any additional equipment and safety devices to ensure compliance with building and safety code requirements.
The level of frost protection depends on the percentage concentration used. Grant recommends using a suitable thermal fluid to give a MINIMUM level of frost protection of -9°C, and down to lower temperatures than this where local conditions are more severe.

For protection against Legionella the temperature can be mounted next to the cylinder. Thus the immersion element can be periodically raised to 60°C using the Grant Automatic DHW Boost programmed to operate for the required period on either a daily or Kit 2, available from Grant UK (product code: HPDHWBK2).
