Your geothermal heat pump apparently has a desuperheater. Yes, that's a big word. In the summer, when you're removing heat from the house it can be used to heat the water in your water heater instead of being dumped in the ground.

You can just get rid of the whole thing but then your more efficient geo thermal system won't be able to heat your water with waste heat. You'll just have to do it with the new water heater all the time.
