I talked it over with Ed and Scott. Since there is below-freezing weather coming up and we don't want ice to form on the back parking lot and become a potential safety hazard, we decided to switch to the backup system, which I did yesterday evening. <div><br></div><div>Note: We continue to use the GSHP system to heat the Fireside Lobby and the Chapel because those areas are not covered by the backup system. The amount of water used for just this area is small enough that the discharge well can handle it and it doesn't overtop.<br><div><br></div><div>We don't use the backup system much so there may be uneven heating in some of the rooms. Feel free to adjust the temperatures on the old system thermostats, as necessary, and also feel free to contact me about anything. If you adjust the temperatures, be sure to use HOLD so that it won't revert back to its program (of 60 degrees) at the start of the next setback time period.</div><div><br></div><div>I have notified Dailey Geothermal, our installer. Until this problem is resolved, my plan is to go back to the GSHP system once we get warmer weather because then there is no freezing issue in case it overtops again. We would just get some water on the back parking lot.</div><div><br></div><div>Wes</div></div></div>
