I’ve heard copper corrodes, Total Green DX Geothermal uses copper ground taps, can corrosion occur resulting in leaks and polluting to the environment?
Copper is an element and does not corrode. In fact, archeologists have discovered artifacts made from cooper in the Byzantine era that are more than a 1,000 years old. These artifacts are well preserved with very little degradation. Copper tubing is a superior heat conductor— proven more reliable over long term use and much more efficient than plastic. This conductivity enables copper systems to work more efficiently with smaller-diameter tubes, so bore holes are smaller, reducing excavation and installation costs. Homeowners should be more concerned about propylene glycol fluid (anti-freeze) based systems which are prone to leakage and are proven harmful to the environment. In fact, it is illegal to change your car anti-freeze without disposing of the anti-freeze properly – you can no longer pour this anti-freeze on the ground.
