The water delta-t does sound high to me too, especially compared to my WF 7 Series. However, it's within the published specs for that model. The...
The Premier manual is attached. See page 37 for the specs. Your water-side delta-temp is within spec for 1.5 GPM/ton flow. For a two ton unit...
Clay is nearly ideal soil for geo, so horizontal should work well also. Your rationale for vertical makes sense though. I would probably opt for...
I could not find detailed data on the XV19 either, but I did find the attached FAQ which indicates it's not the best choice for heating at low...
I had an old 3.5 ton 13 SEER York ASHP from 1994, an 80k BTU 80% oil furnace from 1989, and an outdoor wood boiler. The ASHP would work down to...
Given an accurate heating and cooling load calculation for your house, there is software that can calculate your heating and cooling costs, based...
A 15 SEER air source heat pump would use about 20% more electricity to cool your house than the SM060. The bigger savings with geo are in...
The SM060 will not run the DSH water pump unless the refrigerant is significantly hotter than the water in the buffer tank. So, this will not...
A better plan would be to valve-off the recirculator loop and kill the pump, then see what that does to the WH cycling. A 24/7 recirculator is a...
That's how I envisioned it from the photo. The piping between the buffer tank and the geo is supposed to be copper. The piping between the geo...
It might be the recirc that causes the WH to come on often. Leave the pump off and see what happens. If connected correctly, the geo heat pump HW...
Thanks, @ChrisJ. For @gorilla33 setup to work, the line going into the top of the pump would need to be the recirc return line. I believe the...
I'm not familiar with recirc pumps, but it look odd to me, and might be causing some issues. 1) The recirc pump will increase energy usage when...
It should be plumbed something like this.
That's typical power usage for a WH, but it should not come on that often, especially if the geo is supplementing the water heating. With a 90+...
