Electric Anode

The electric anode is mandatory for installations using articles 120316 (AWST6/15-R32-M-V8), 120329 (AWST6/15-R32-M) and 120335 (AWST6/12-R32-S-V8). This is in order to minimise corrosion risk in markets where the water requirements are difficult to achieve.

An electric anode has major advantages over traditional sacrificial anodes. It gives superior corrosion protection for up to 25 years without having to be replaced. It can in addition inhibit sulfate reducing bacteria which otherwise produce smelly H₂S gas.

Note: to maintain the 3-year basic warranty on already installed units, the electric anode is to installed in the above models.
