Ground source heat pumps

I rest my case.

Explain why I need anti-freeze. When you do so, tell me what the average winter temperature is near the fence in question and tell me how many days in a year that the area is subject to freezing temperatures.

Explain what the winter temperature is at the location of the fence.

You're an idiot who cannot face up to his own stupidity.

I take it the fence is in the South of France perhaps?

Any abstraction of natural surface or groundwater of more than 20,000 litres a day requires an abstraction licence, regardless of the ultimate use or disposal of the water. Whether a licence is granted or not will depend on the overall state of the river, lake or aquifer. Licenses will often have conditions , one of which might be that the 'used' water is returned to the source from which it is abstracted.

Not _quite_ true. Specifically, no license is currently required for abstracting for some types of irrigation and agricultural uses.

Ooh no, about 500 miles further south in Italy.

You're a cruel, cruel man, tormenting Drivel so.

(I already knew where it was, and Steve knew I knew... Tee hee.)

I suppose that if the heat pump was over vigorous, then it would cool the working fluid below freezing point
