A system for installing sub-surface fluid transport tubing and pressure testing coupling seals in a vertically oriented geothermal heating/cooling system installation, and particularly in a direct exchange system installation, includes providing an elevated containment area, that has a confined space opening, supported by extensions/poles, within which opening an upper portion of the fluid transport tubing segment, to be installed within the borehole, can be positioned and contained. The system further includes pressure testing above-ground segmental coupling seals, by using moderate gas pressure applied via temporary gas hose and plug connections to respective ends of the operatively connected fluid transport line set.

What is claimed is: 1. A system for installing geothermal heat pump sub-surface, vertically oriented, fluid transport tubing in a well/borehole, the system comprising: at least one elevated containment structure, the containment structure defining a central open area, the structure adapted to laterally support, within the central open area, fluid transport tubing when the containment structure is temporarily positioned above a well/borehole for insertion of the fluid transport tubing into the well/borehole; and an extension structure connected to and extending downward from the containment structure, the extension structure adapted to temporarily elevate and support the containment structure above a around surface proximate the well/borehole during installation of the fluid transport tubing into the well/borehole, further comprising vertically oriented fluid transport tubing for a sub-surface geothermal heat pump system, the fluid transport tubing positioned and laterally supported by the elevated containment structure for insertion into the well/borehole, wherein the lower distal end of the fluid transport tubing comprises a lower distal end of a first segment operatively coupled to an upper/top end of a second segment partially extending from and out of the well/borehole, wherein the second fluid transport tubing segment partially extending from and out of the well/borehole comprises at least one supply fluid transport tube and at least one return fluid transport tube, and said supply and return fluid transport tubes are operatively connected by a U-bend coupling positioned within the well/borehole; and, further comprising a bar attached across the coupling in the well/borehole and a rope/cord/line/cable attached to the bar and extending from the bar to above the ground surface. 2. The installation system of claim 1, wherein the fluid transport tubing is lowered and/or raised within the well/borehole by the rope/cord/line/cable which extends above the ground surface. 3. The installation system of claim 2, further comprising a winch coupled to the rope/cord/line/cable and wherein the lowering and/or raising of the fluid transport tubing is controlled by the winch. 4. The installation system of claim 1, wherein the extension structure comprises a plurality of elongated extension members. 5. The installation system of claim 4, further comprising a plurality of spikes affixing/securing the extension members to the ground surface during installation of the fluid transport tubing. 6. The installation system of claim 1, wherein the fluid transport tubing is for use in a geothermal direct exchange heat pump system. 7. The installation system of claim 6, wherein the fluid transport tubing comprises a plurality of sections/segments of hard copper tubing operatively coupled together. 8. The installation system of claim 1, wherein the fluid transport tubing is for use in a geothermal water-source heat pump system. 9. The installation system of claim 8, wherein the fluid transport tubing comprises a plurality of segments of at least one of plastic and polyethylene tubing operatively coupled together.
