The whole house is climate controlled, and set to a common temp. With a 4tonne air conditioner with heat of course, and with HRV, the whole house has a 1 degree fluctuation. The fancy computer running it all controls everything, very nice, very simple... And a very comfy house year round.

With this in place, the tank again only fluctuates 1 degree if at all. Been running this way for quite some time, without any issues.

Actually, I had a heater in it at one time, but it NEVER turned on, so I just removed, as I have had heaters blow up in my sump before, so one less thing to cause an issue.
