The geothermal was installed with ideal soils. When we install the geothermal we want it to be as wet as possible, and we hit the jackpot.
The geo loop installers were not liking the conditions, but the Scheller's will be singing all the way to the bank with the return on their investment.
The water and the sandy rocky soils help make the best soil contact to the geo loop and the transfer of energy to the geo loop system or out of the geo loop system.
We also installed soil temperature sensors that will monitor the soil temperatures 2 feet, 4 feet and 50 feet out from the geo trench. This will help us monitor the soil temperatures which in turn will tell us how much energy we are using from the geo field.
