From the little research I have done on-line (I stopped when the price for a 3000 sq.ft. home went from $15K to as high as $30K) it looks like either an open loop system, pumping water thru an exchanger and exhausting the water somewhere, or a closed loop where there is no exhaust water. In either case an exchanger, hundreds of feet of copper lines like giant radiator, must either be buried in your yard or submerged and buried under the lake bed. Clay soils were specifically mentioned as bad news for copper pipe corrosion..
Sounds like a cool idea, and it apparently works, but, man the up front cost sounds tough.
