excellent Idea! (s) As -is I'm getting 20 - 30 degrees rise in HW temp. Going to flip it over so the high side runs in top and out the bottom, solder copper to copper, insulate my pipes, and wire my 24V contact to bring on the 115V HP along with the circ pump. I may have a bit too much compressor though. I haven't checked super heat yet (maybe today) but I dont' seem to be getting very cool gas back to the compressor windings a bit worried that it's running too hot. Highside goes up to about 300 psi (135deg) low side up to about 50 lbs (20 deg) - Suction line feels cool but compressor is a little hotter than I'd like. I may reduce levels but thinking I might be better off using a different refrigerant or smaller compressor.
