4-ton GSHP - Hydronic conversion

Nice project
I installed a horizontal system for my brother in Yakima.

It is at 6', and works OK. I wish it were deeper now. If you go in at 7' or 8', do you really think you'll get into it with track modifications?

I checked out your install, that drain-pipe setup is a neat idea for the dry side of WA.

I would have no problem with going 10 to 12 feet deep in a horizontal system, however, I just don't want to lock myself into a long-term plan for that portion of my property plus When I get on a dozer, I tend to go a little wild with clever cuts and fills on the MX track. I have considered making a horizontal setup (like the one in your thread) using my parking area in front of the building. It is not paved and will eventually be getting a bit of dirt removed to give it a better slope for the rainy season.

you only need a 2500 s.f. pit for a big system. you should be able to leave a little patch like that alone
