My setup is like this: incoming water pipe> ball valve to turn water off to be able to make repairs> irrigation valve> tee with a petes plug>input of unit. Shouldn't make any difference to the electronics of the unit. Most irrigation systems operate on 24V ac, and if you search for a 24v irrigation valve you shouldn't have a problem finding one. Not sure how they got the system to begin with. Unfortunately there are no dealers for Geocool within 500 miles of me. Or can anyone recommend a forum as good as this one that might be able to help me better? But I am guessing.Īny HVAC guys with Geothermal experience here? The other issue is whenever we have been gone for a while I have to manually press and turn the electrical water valve and cycle the breaker on and off because that valve closes and doesn't reopen on its own and the system shuts down for high pressure. It is an open loop system with the water returning to the well, it just dumps back into the well it came from.Ĭan I put a one way check valve on that line to stop this annoying noise? Or is the noise something else? I am thinking it is the water backflowing out the lines? When the system cycles off there is a huge sucking noise that resonates through out the house. Which makes this one issue really annoying. It will cool the whole place in no time at all, then it just cycles. So it is tight as a drum, and the A/C cycles way too much.


It is a 5 ton unit, and the living spaces were spray foamed, then batt insulated with 8 inch walls and with 18 inches of blow in insulation in the ceiling.

He got a Geocool system but had his regular HVAC sub install it. I told the contractor I wanted to use geo thermal for the hvac system. We use it as a weekend property, and it is my work shop.

I built a 1400 sq foot apartment into an existing 36x48 pole barn a few years ago. Not completely a garage question, but kind of sort of.
