Vertical Loop: This loop is used mainly when land area is limited and for retrofit applications in existing homes. A drilling rig is used to bore holes at of depth of 50 to 300 feet. A U-shaped coil of high density pipe is inserted into the bore hole. The holes are then backfilled with a sealing solution.
 

 
 
Horizontal Loop: This is the most common loop used when adequate land area is available. Loop installers use excavation equipment such as chain trenchers, backhoes and track hoes to dig trenches approximately six feet deep and 150 feet long.
 

 
Pond Loop: A pond loop is an option if a large body of water is available within approximately 200 feet of the home. A one-half acre, 8 to 10 foot deep body of water is usually adequate to support the average home. The loop field coils are placed in the body of water and anchored at the bottom.
 

 
Open Loop: This system can be installed if an abundant supply of high quality well water is available. A typical home will require four to eight gallons of water per minute. A proper discharge area such as a river, drainage ditch, field tile, stream, pond, or lake must be present. We can also create a French drain for discharge purposes.
