Default GHSP closed loop ?

Can the closed loop piping be laid in conjunction with earth work done to install septic system? Will be digging gravity drain septic run and foundation drainage out thru hillside to new mound septic system. Can tubing be laid under mound and in trench to it to save on earthwork?

I'd say why not? Of course depends on the local building codes... But you'd get some extra warmth- you could tell your friends that your house is partially heated by poop. Codes probably would say no because if you had to dig up any part of the septic to repair it, it would be a fiasco.

But I'd do it

if you suck all the heat out of your septic system from the ground loops the bugs will die of colds !! lower temps mean slower digeston,
