Re: HVAC GeoThermal Heating and Cooling
Yes, I could use antifreeze and I do use some I dilute my water with about 5% Propylene Glycol. That lowers the freezing temperature some. My closed loop system contains about 350 gallons of water and Glycol. The heat exchanger is capable of dropping the water temp down to around ten degrees but hea...

Thanks for the reply. I timed the unit running periods and it is usually 3 to 10 minutes. I am afraid of leaving the secondary open. I remember how easily the audio output transformers would blow if you power up an amplifier with no speakers attached. This was on older amps but Would probably still ...
