An anode is a sacrificial magnesium rod that protects your hot water tank by attracting the chemical reactions that cause rust. The anode rusts in place of your tank rusting or corroding. This ensures the quality and safety of your hot water tank.
Why Do Water Heaters Corrode (Rust)?
Corrosion in water heaters is associated with the passage of minute electrical currents that travel through the metal and the water inside your tank. Corrosion takes place at the anode which is where the current releases ions to dissolve in the water. Areas develop at the tank walls where the circuit is completed. These are called cathodic areas. Provided there is an effective anode working inside the tank, no corrosion can, or will, take place in these areas. Once the original anode stops working, the steel tank will react with other incompatible metals such as the copper pipes, brass fittings and the element(s). Once this occurs, the tank wall becomes anodic and corrosion commences.
