General
Anode Life: The life of the anode will vary through differing factors such as soil type, soil moisture, water quality and the quality of the surface being protected.
Replacement: It is recommended that your anode be inspected and replaced when more than 50% of its central wire core is exposed through corrosion. Bagged anodes are normally replaced after approx 10 years.
Application: MetalGuard Bagged Anodes are recommended for use with any in ground metal structure, in new and existing tanks and bore applications.
Consumption of anodes through corrosion means that they are doing their job correctly!
Notes
MetalGuard bagged anodes conform to Australian Standard AS2239. This standard advises that the by-products of magnesium anodes commonly used in “potable water applications” are non-toxic.
