What should be done with discharge water from an open-loop system?
The CSA standard and provincial / local regulations require that the water be returned to source after passing through the heat pump. The system removes only a small amount of heat, so the water discharged is not classified as sewage. Care must be exercised to ensure that open-loop systems protect the environment to the greatest degree possible and comply with all laws, standards and regulations.
