One out of 3 pumps running now, frustratingly other two have some master/slave connection issues, the manufacturer need to come and sort that out .
On the plus side the one pump has lifted the house temp from 8 C to 25C in 18 hours, incoming air temp is approx 45C blowing 5000 cubic m/hour

The glycol in the ground loop leaves the pump at -1.5C and returns at 8C

Ill have to fire the gas heaters up to reach shed full temperature before Fri morning when the birds arrive

no photos as there is nothing to see, just a white box humming.

All pumps now running, 2 had the wrong circuit boards fitted, strange as they all have few test hours on the clock. the manufacturers promised two boards on 24hour post, one arrived after 72 hours the other took a further 3 days, not a good start backup wise.

3 pumps do the job easily , the shed is toasty warm, heat pumps intermittent not having to run all the time
