There are a large number of water heating HP's, most are marketed as pool
heaters.
Google should find a bunch...
I'm not sure you'll find an Air to water heatpump that chills water...
but if you do, let me know.
Take care with water treatment chemicals & how the heat pump performs,
although if they're built for
chlorinated pool water, they'll probably handle anything your system will
use.
Have your engineer plot the wet bulb temps on a Psych Chart before you cool
your slab.
Unless your in the dessert or high in the mountains you'll have a wet
floor...
I believe Dew Point was mentioned earlier.

goodluck
