Hello everyone,
Our air-to-water heat pump from Tecalor, installed indoors, has been operating in our new build for two years.
Due to the closure of the heating installer company we originally worked with, we have now had the annual service performed by a different heating technician.
During this service, some "issues" were identified, and I am now in contact with my general contractor to discuss whether and how these can or must be corrected.
One major topic is a dirt separator or air separator, which, according to the general contractor and the previous heating installer, is apparently not necessary and only a "recommendation."
Question: Is this correct, or should a system like this no longer be operated without one?
I am ultimately concerned about future-proofing—possibly I would install one at my own expense. What do you think of the opinion of the previous installer?

- In new construction, you can install a microbubble separator if you want – sludge is debatable for me… The original poster has a new build. So your assessment matches mine.
