Aluminum Sacrificial Anode

Product Description

An anode rod in a water heater is a critical component that helps prevent corrosion inside the tank. It™s usually made of magnesium, aluminum, or zinc and is designed to corrode instead of the steel tank, prolonging its lifespan. 

Why It's Important:

- Corrosion Protection The anode rod attracts corrosive elements in the water, which helps protect the tank itself.

- Lifespan Extension Regularly checking and replacing the anode rod can significantly extend the life of your water heater.

Maintenance Tips:

- Check Regularly Inspect the anode rod every 1-3 years. If it's heavily corroded (less than inch thick), it™s time to replace it.

- Replacement When replacing, ensure you use the right type and size for your specific water heater model.

Keeping an eye on your anode rod can save you from costly replacements down the line!
