BS.
H2O2 will not create nasty pressures to the point of bursting through a rig, and I don't believe that it will foam up either.
The advantage with h202 is that it is less dense than water, which will increase the flow rate. The problem is that it doesn't have the heat capacity, nor the heat transfer rate that water does.
H2O2 will not prevent galvanic corrosion, a process by which a metal will corrode because it is combined with another metal through an electrically conductive fluid. This has nothing to do with acids.
H2O2 is not a very good choice. It would be far easier (and funky) to use windshield wiper fluid (which contains methanol).
Usually though, distilled water with some water wetter is the best choice, unless you're running a supercooled system (i.e. the coolant temps fall below freezing)
