[Equest-users] GSHP-Extreme Temperatures

The one time I dealt with extreme GSHP temperatures, I believe the cause was rooted in the need to manually enter some of the fields that determine flow and/or pump sizing for the GLHX/loop.  Notably however, they were not this extreme, and while they did occur within the first month, it was not on the first hour of the first day of the first month...  I would suggest to at least review those fields that might, incorrectly entered, cause you to have zero to low flow in the loop.
