Question Can I install a Whole house fan with attic water heater?

I have a direct vent (closed system) gas tankless water heater with electronic ignition, I would like to install a whole house fan on the opposite side (~50' away) of the house.

Since whole house fans can pressurize an attic, should I be concerned about this combination?

From what I can tell, these pull in outside air for combustion, so a whole house fan shouldn't affect it.

You will likely need much more ventilation in the attic.
