A geo-gooser is a manual, portable tool for adding or checking pressure in a geothermal system’s ground loop. It’s a standard part of a geothermal technician’s kit, consisting of a gauge, a valve, and a needle assembly that connects to a garden hose to add water or loop fluid through a PT (pressure/temperature) port.
How it works
- Attaches to a PT port on the geothermal system.
- Connects to a water source via a garden hose.
- Measures the system’s static pressure using a built-in gauge (0-100 PSI).
- Adds fluid to the closed loop to increase pressure when needed.
Key features
- Portable: Designed for easy transport and on-site use.
- Manual: Easy to use but a technician is a good choice
- Diagnostic: Allows technicians to read static pressure and diagnose potential issues with the loop.
- Versatile: Can be used as a standalone tool or as part of a larger service kit that includes flush adapters and other diagnostic equipment.
