EcoRenovator - View Single Post - 24000 BTU AC Unit conversion to geothermal well water source

in a GT heat pump, each 12,000 BTU delivered requires a water flow of 2-4 gallons per minute (8-17 liters/min). This can be a LOT of water!

Water pump costs depend on how far up the well you have to pump and how much resistance is in the pipe system.
