Water Loop Heat Pumps

Hello all:

I am modeling an HVAC system that uses condenser water from a tower for cooling and heating. When I choose this system in the Wizard it makes a water loop heat pump loop. The design does not include a boiler, but a boiler is needed for this system. I set the boiler to 0 capacity, but the results for heating seem a little low. I've tried connecting my system to a condenser water loop with just a cooling tower, but it does not use the condenser water at any time during the year if I have water-to-air heat pump for heating and cooling. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Where does the heat come from if the water to air heat pumps need to heat?

What do you mean by: "I set the boiler to 0 capacity, but the results for
heating seem a little low"??? What seems low? Energy use? Indoor
temperatures? Out of range hours?
