Overkill? Yes, of course it is.

Seems that if you put it together with duct tape and chewing gum and one syllable words, it would already be doing useful work for you... and would only get better, as your refinements were being applied.

At least, that would be my approach.

I learned a tremendous amount when I let my prototype heat pump run off of water from the backyard loop for a couple of months. I learned things that totally came in from left field, things that I didn't know were there to be learned, things like, "rain is a heat event". I never would have guessed that such was the case.


Best,
