- cess11 3y agoIt's stable, cheap, carries heat OK enough, so it gets pumped through the pipe in the ground to collect heat and bring it back up to the heat pump. If there's a leak it's bad since it's quite toxic to organic life. If you collect in soil rather than drilling into rock tree roots might push around the collector pipe a bit over the years but I've never heard about that being a problem.
