I used a ground water heat pump to heat my house for a number of years. It was a maintenance nightmare. I finally pitched it when the main freon-to-water heat exchanger began to leak freon. It would have been extremely costly to replace.
It was great while it worked, if the maintenance costs were ignored. I also just dumped the cold water. There was a convenient lake nearby. The deer liked the open water. BTW, the well water was a consistent 50 degree year round. Ground water is always at the average annual temperature (or warmer).
