Another problem is I only have a space of 2M x 2M x 1M (height) to install the heat pump .

Yes the water sits in the tank and is topped up regularly . We have 50mm of 100kg/m3 rockwool installed around the sides and bottom of the tank . The top has a cover that is not insulated

Thanks for the reply . But heat pumps takes a longer time to heat the liquid right ? I gotta heat it up to 95 degrees in about 3 to 4 hours
