“How can we make water source heat pumps that don’t directly extract water?”

Water source heat pumps use water to heat a building. however,  many systems rely on water extraction. How can we make one that’s more sustainable? Well, what if we were to make something that simply exchanges heat using sealed pipes? Well, this exists as Closed Loop Water Source Heat Pumps. This technology is not only more sustainable but also more resilient against winter freezing.
