I am glad that you are underscoring the well-known importance of ground water. It is good to be reminded.
So, on with the show! It is time for you to achieve the success you are envisioning, and to demonstrate your findings with the performance of your new project. Obviously, Spring is the best time to begin such a large undertaking. As I said, the more project detail, the better, and pictures really are worth 1000 words. By the way, have you already done a heat load analysis on your house? Have you done a Manual J analysis, or do you have heating data that you can use as a guide? Without a reliable heating load target, it is difficult to build the optimum GSHP system. Have you done everything possible to reduce your heat load?
These are simple things that will cost you much less in money and effort than every unit of GSHP and loop field you are about to build to meet your heat load. Do you have a map, topo or otherwise, of the land that you intend to site your loopfield on, that you can share? Any photos of your house? Best of luck, -AC
