    On the contrary it is very realistic. .. the barman dumps a load of ice in a glass and it gels together, and he then squirts water on top.. much of the ice is trapped under water.

    Agree. The problem is there is a difference between the the Artic ice and the Antarctic ice. The Artic ice is floating on the water,whereas the Antarctic Ice is already sitting on land. Melting Artic ice ,makes the NW Passage clearer ,but might adversely affect the North Atlantic Drift or as we...

    But the immersion heater is extremely rarely used.. ie I would need perhaps two weeks of grey overcast weather, without even one day of brightness to need to purge the system up to 60 degrees plus.. so it is only a manual intervention if ever.

    The domestic water is pressurised at the storage tank. In our case, the water storage tank is a large 300 litre insulated tank containing two heating coils and an immersion heater element. The thermal solar is connected to the lower coil and the hotwater feed from the ASHP to the upper coil...

    No you are correct, the underground source water to water heat pump, is more efficient.
