I was not clear in my earlier post. There are two types. One has copper tubes and the other has aluminum tubes. They both have aluminum fins. The ones with the copper tubes will not rot out as copper is less reactive than aluminum. It is the tubes that are the issue since the inner walls of the tube are where the chemical reactions are causing pin holes and leaks
