    I'm not offended by the question in this forum. As already pointed out, it's clearly labeled as non-rv content, and there just might be people in the forum that have the requested technical knowledge. Agreed, if abused, non-rv content could ruin the forum. There is a lot of non-rv content in the Technology Corner forum and I haven't heard that it causes any problems.


    Technology Corner is expressly for internet and technology questions. It just seems to me that an HVAC question--especially geothermal--is not appropriate on a forum that is explicitly for RV related questions. And I agree that unrelated content could ruin the forum, which is why I question having it here. It's not offensive, it just doesn't belong.
    Apparently you haven't read the "Around The Campfire" section, which expressly states "for general non-rv related issues". Only problem I see is it's in the wrong section (which isn't unusual either). But what I really don't understand, is why did you bother to even read the post, if by the title it clearly wasn't "your cup of tea".


    Except if posted in 'Around the Campfire' it gets moved or deleted :S

    I just don't understand ALL the 'panties in a wad' over this/that forum section.
    Besides....MODS can handled it. That's what they get the big $$ for :B

    There are basically two types of Geothermal units based on where you live

    One is basically the same as a heat pump only the outdoor coils are buried in dirt which provides vastly better cool/heating

    The other type pumps cool water into the ground and sucks hot water back up.

    I suspect. it has to do with that function, but alas, just whast it has to do without the service manual I'd have to leave to professionals.
