I prefer to think of foil wrap as a fine product, they ship it in a protective corrugated plastic pipe for protection which should be removed before use. What you put the foil wrapped lines in is up to the purchaser; preferably something leak and crush resistant.

If it was just for shipping protection, they would use the cheap drain tile. The stuff most companies use is quite a bit stronger and more expensive than the standard stuff.

I was being facetious.

The stuff makes great drain pipe though, gave some of mine to a coworker, he loved it.

This whole debate on foam v. bubble/foil has one thing I keep noticing. The guys up north where water ponds near the surface during the spring thaw have issues with flooding the corrugated pipe.
People in the mountains or further south seem to not have those issues. I'm beginning to think that the spring thaw in flat terrain is where the flooding is coming from.
Just a thought as to why there are mixed reviews.

Well I know if I need to move it now is the time to do it. Just want to be sure of some things. My son is a concrete pourer and  finisher and will be pouring my pad. The back of the boiler will only be turning 45 degrees from where its at now so the pipes in the current pipes in the ground are good and the connections will be easy made. No splices will be needed. I don't have a pad now just two footers so I'm gonna have a 12x12 pad poured over the top of the current footers. Basically the boiler will just turn in a different direction. My plans are to drain all water out of boiler, disconnect all pipes and electrical wires, move the boiler completely out of the way, form up the pad, put a section of drain pipe around all the pipes coming out of ground as water tight as I can make it, dig all dirt down to 6 inches below top of form and remove dirt.  Put 3 inches of dense grade gravel in the pad form and pack well. Put a cattle panel section cut to length instead of rebar. Pour the slab and replace boiler to proper place. Hooking everything back up as normal.
Any suggestions on any of this would be appreciated and considered.

Would you have a pic of the back of the furnace? Where the piping enters?

Good pictures.
That's a beast of a recirculation pump. :)
Sounds like you got a plan there. If you have any plans of running another line into the stove at some point you might want to form a section separate that could be lifted out to ditch in another line. A lot of times we just overhang the back of the stove over the edge of the pad so adding a line isn't an issue. Life always seems to bring something new.

That recirculating pump is coming off. When I hook the boiler back up the return line is coming into that side at the bottom. I'm having mixing problems with temps being inconsistent. The Armstrong pump was over kill to the problem. Ended up costing me an arm and leg in extra electric bill.
Back to the pad. So you feel I should not pour around the pipes that come up out of the ground. But let the pad come right up to the edge?

I remember you mentioning the mixing pump last winter.

As far as the pad goes, I'm not sure how the legs on the furnace are. If they are coming right off the tank in front of the piping I wouldn't see a reason to pour around the pipes and block yourself in. Your preference.
The picture shows how I usually overhang the stove.
