hallo , ik wil graag een warmtepomp aansluiten op mijn hot tube.
water inhoud van de tub is 1,8 m3 .
er zit nu geen pomp op en ik wil de hout kachel wel bewaren kan ik dan de warmtepomp met transportpomp hier parallel op aansluiten of moet dit altijd in serie?
als het in serie moet dan moet altijd het water door de warmtepomp worden gepompt.
en kunt u mijn helpen aan een geschikte warmtepomp en transportpomp?
met vriendelijke groet,
Brian van den Berg
