Sacrificial anodes replacement

Did you know that the sacrificial anode is probably the most important component in your hot water system, protecting it from chemical damage and keeping it working at maximum efficiency for many years?

Plumbdog’s fully qualified and experienced emergency hot water plumbers will answer your call across the Perth Metro and are able to replace sacrificial anodes in most hot water systems with minimum disruption. Whistle and we will come!

What is a sacrificial anode?

If your storage hot water systems runs on electricity, gas or solar, it probably contains a sacrificial anode. This is a highly reactive metal component which protects the system from corrosion. Most hot water heaters use them to protect the tank and other components which spend most of their time immersed in water.

Why does the anode need to be replaced regularly?

As the name implies, the anode sacrifices itself to protect the rest of the hot water system. Most hot water systems should be serviced every two years, and replacement of the sacrificial anode, which is likely to have corroded significantly since the previous servicing, is highly recommended.

How does a sacrificial anode work?

Corrosion (or rust) is the result of electrolytic action which travels through the water and reacts with the surface of the metal at risk. A sacrificial anode works by attracting electrolytes more strongly than the rest of the hot water system, keeping other system components out of harm’s way. As well as hot water heaters, sacrificial anodes protect ships at sea, pipelines, boilers and other steel structures that are under water or in damp soil conditions where risk of corrosion exists.

    Freqently Asked Questions

    How do I know if my sacrificial anode needs replacing?
    If your hot water is discoloured, has a metallic taste, or your system is over 2 years old and hasn’t been serviced, the anode likely needs replacement.
    How often should the sacrificial anode be replaced?
    Most hot water systems require the anode to be replaced every 2 to 3 years as part of routine maintenance to prevent corrosion and extend the system’s life.
    Can I replace the sacrificial anode myself?
    It’s not recommended. The process involves draining the tank and handling pressurised parts, so it should be done by a licensed plumber for safety and warranty reasons.
    Can I use my hot water system without replacing the sacrificial anode?
    It’s not recommended. The process involves draining the tank and handling pressurised parts, so it should be done by a licensed plumber for safety and warranty reasons.
    What happens if I don’t replace the anode?
    Without a working anode, your tank will corrode faster, leading to leaks, reduced efficiency, and potentially a complete system failure.
