You should consult the laws that pertain to this activity for the country, and locale in which drilling will be done.

I think you may need to a bit of research on your own to answer some of these questions. If you don't have the gumption to gather information, you probably don't have the gumption to succeed in a DIY GSHP project.

phreich,

This thread is a very unusual place on the Internet. It is probably the only place on the Internet where where information about actually doing a DIY GSHP is shared.

I sincerely welcome queries from people who are engaged in actually building a DIY GSHP.

I also strongly discourage people who want to dilute this thread with discussion about anything that is not directly involved with the process of building a DIY GSHP. Diluting this thread reduces the value of what I have spent many many hours trying to create.

phreich, if you had ALREADY read the thread, you would already know this.

Steve Hull, also has rambled on before on this thread with blather he deems to be golden. I have tried to communicate to him the purpose of this thread before, but as a testament to the level of his awareness, he persists in filling this space with the debris of his opinions, which makes it less valuable to everyone (this could quite possibly his true aim).

So, I repeat to both of you, this is not a talking shop... this is a thread for people who are BUILDING a DIY GSHP.

Please create a new thread!

Sincerely,

-AC_Hacker
