There is a right way and a wrong way to install a geothermal lake water loop. Click HERE to see how a closed loop lake system should NOT be installed. Loop fields are easily damaged by shifting ice, boat anchors etc. "Believe it or not, this could be considered a typical lake loop installation"!  Limnion has a better solution to avoid these kinds of mishaps.

Introducing LIMNION and LIMA-1
Limnion is a company operating in central Ontario, Canada, in the Haliburton Highlands. They are well known as a leader in water pipe freeze protection and recently established a geothermal division to explore the possibilities for developing high performance geothermal transfer products under their LIMNION brand and are now introducing a new breakthrough technology. The company’s founder, CEO and inventor, Lorne Heise has made an astonishing statement today which sounds a little more like science fiction then it does science.

"Now anyone with a waterfront, riverfront or pond home can heat and cool it without using any fossil fuels" That's right! Imagine! No energy bills from your gas or oil company forever! "This technology is so green it presents an unprecedented leap forward in lake geothermal heating technology".

"LIMNION LIMA-1 is the first product in a family of Geothermal Transfer Systems we are planning to introduce over the next several years. LIMA-1 is a high performance, highly engineered energy transformer compatible with all premium quality geothermal water to air or water to water heat pumps. The leading manufacturers in heat pump technology have correctly focused their efforts on high performance refrigeration technology bringing geothermal capability to the forefront.

"These companies are building wonderful geothermal heat pumps. These heat pumps are so good the problem now is how to extract the energy from the ground. This is why we formed LIMNION Corporation, dedicated to learn, invent and develop highly efficient Geothermal Transfer Systems to provide these great heat pumps with the energy they need to really perform."

It has long been recognized that our lakes and seas contain the energy to heat and cool our homes but to date, getting this geothermal energy out has required the use of a heat pump along with hundreds and thousands of feet of polyethylene plastic pipes, often carelessly strewn onto lake bottoms covering large areas. These pipes are damaging the eco system and are destroying swimming and fish habitats with an ugly and largely non-serviceable coil. These systems are called lake loops or lake mats and are becoming an environmental nightmare. The practice of throwing bundles of tubes that has gone on uncontrolled for years is currently under investigation by many environmental authorities in the USA and Canada. The practice has already been banned in many areas as it is not only considered environmentally wrong, it also possesses inherent safety hazards during and after installation as clothing can become tangled in the various caged structures. See photos.

The LIMNION LIMA-1 is suitable for common 5 ton capacities and is 1/600 of the size of a lake loop. LIMA-1 does not adversely affect the ecosystem as it suspends itself harmlessly within the lake water anchored with a 132 pound ball that of which only the bottom 4 inches is in contact with the lake bottom. The LIMA-1 will not rust or corrode as it is of non-metal construction and all components are manufactured of modern polymers. LIMA-1 is non-toxic and the protective cage actually provides a habitat for tiny fish and other aquatic animals and vegetation. The unit can be raised and lowered as required if service or cleaning is ever deemed necessary. Everything has been thought out right down to the tether rope. It is made with materials proven not to rot or fail even in salt water and once the knot is tied it will not slip. The LIMNION LIMA-1 has many unique design features that are not obvious but play an important role, such as the non-slip rope.

Heise says "LIMNION is a timely and necessary key to making geothermal lake systems efficient, affordable, sustainable, safe, easy to install and most importantly - environmentally friendly. LIMNION LIMA-1 connected to a high quality heat pump system requires no fossil fuels, reduces the carbon footprint and does not harm the environment. LIMA-1 is in total harmony with the natural environment as it elegantly and efficiently heats and cools our homes using totally renewable energy stored in the earth".

LIMA-1 can be used with any high performance high quality water to air or water to water heat pump and makes installations a breeze. These heat pumps are highly efficient and sip electrical energy to power a compressor, circulating pumps and control circuits. This is the only power required. The rest is provided from the sun and the earth.

Rock has always been a problem for lake geothermal systems. Not anymore! If your home or cottage is on rock no need to worry, LIMNION is compatible with any of Heat-Line's freeze-protection systems.

Heise says LIMNION is developing other systems to compliment the fantastic promise of geothermal residential heating and cooling.
