Thanks everyone! I definitely have some gaps in my understanding. The water being greater effected by the ambient temperature is definitely one of those concerns, I guess I'm trying to avoid the additional cost of digging a horizontal GSHP line by using the existing hole that will be a pond. Trying to understand if I can combine the ideas.
I'll get on the phone with some people next week. Thanks for listening to my ideas and giving me feedback, it's been very valuable at sharpening my understanding.
I'm completely reconsidering incorporating a pond. Im going to buy an excavator to finish the pond and do yard work anyways. Maybe I put the hosing under what will be pathways and follow the horizontal GSHP idea without modification.
