Don't know about a heat pump that uses water. Ours uses outside air. It looks exactly like an air conditioning unit. The only difference is that when put in the heating mode, it reverses the process and the coils inside become heating coils. Works well here (in N Texas) down to about 25 degrees outside. Below that the auxilliary electric heating coils are needed to assist the heat pump. Electric coils are not very economical but we don't have to use them very often. Our house is all electric and I would not go back to using gas. Overall, the unit is quite efficient. We do have a wood fireplace, but that is more for "atmosphere" than the actually heating effect. I do plan to put in a good efficient wood stove in our next house (5 yrs??).
