A geyser is an essential piece of equipment that supplies hot water for many domestic tasks. But if the unit isn't properly maintained, it might rust and corrode and last much shorter. Deterioration of the tank can be avoided by being aware of when and how to replace the sacrificial anode. To guarantee that your geyser works well and lasts for many years, adhere to following maintenance recommendations: Inside the geyser, there is a long metal rod called the sacrificial anode. It is usually constructed of aluminium or magnesium. Its main purpose is to draw corrosive substances like iron and minerals from the water that would otherwise cause tank and element to rust and degrade. By "sacrificing" itself through electrolysis, the sacrificial anode corrodes gradually, safeguarding the geyser's interior lining, element and thereby increasing its lifespan of both. The sacrificial anode loses its ability to stop corrosion over time due to depletion. The interior of the tank and element may corrode prematurely if the sacrificial anode is not routinely checked and replaced, which could result in leaks, possible water damage and constant element replacement. With the right care, a tank and element can last much longer. But problems with the sacrificial anode can shorten both lifespans. Thus, it is essential to incorporate the inspection and replacement of sacrificial anodes into your routine geyser maintenance.
