1.5 to 2 bar , but ours is lower than the house & we have 650 to 700 meters of pipe in the ground

That’s a lot of pipe for a new build but you do get much colder winters than us. We’ve only got 400m and an 8kw system but I do sometimes wonder if I should of pushed for 600m. Would of only been two extra hours with the digger 🙈🙈

That was my though , the pipe was only to put in once so I thought be sure we have plenty in the ground, Happy with it so far

mines prob not as good as that, today it was 6/7 deg between to 2 temps, but it does vary, one thing i should have had was more loop but i went the recommendation of the suppliers, it does work well but i feel the recovery could be better with more loop, one day i might add more if im feeling restless with the digger!

think mine is 8kw will check
