Electrolosis eating heater core?

Off 67 72 topic,
I am posting this here cuz you guys:
Rock,
know stufff,
Answer posts
Plus no buddy knows me at the 94 - 98 board.

My buddy has a 94 burb and the heater cores just rot out of it. Both front and rear went out, so he bought a new one and it lasted 3 months. He took it back and they gave him a new one, but the guy told him an electrical short was eating the aluminum cores....
Anyone ever heard of such a thing? The battery has one of those battery buddy things that disconects the battery if there is any batery drain and it isn't going off, so I am doubting this story.

I'm thinking his water has something in it that is caustic. Can you get Non-aluminum heater cores? any advice?
Thanks in advance.
