Magnesium anode AMW 22x420 with 3/4" cork 10.6.50.001.00

Corrosion protection for your hot water tank

The magnesium anode AMW 22x420 with a 3/4” plug is a key element protecting the hot water tank against corrosion. Its operation is based on an electrochemical process – magnesium, being a more active metal than steel, corrodes first, thereby protecting the tank walls. This simple but extremely effective solution extends the life of the device and ensures safe operation for years to come.

How does it work in practice? Water, especially that with increased calcium and other mineral content, promotes corrosion. The magnesium anode "attracts" corrosion-causing molecules, sacrificing itself in return for the integrity of the tank. Regular replacement of the anode is therefore an investment in the trouble-free operation of the entire system.

Installation and compatibility: The AMW anode is equipped with a 3/4 inch threaded plug, ensuring easy installation in most standard hot water tanks. The diameter of the anode is 22 mm and the length is 420 mm – these dimensions guarantee an adequate active surface and effective protection. It is intended for use with electric water heaters as a protective element against corrosion.

It is worth remembering that the magnesium anode wears out during operation, therefore regular checking of its condition and replacement (usually every 1-2 years, depending on the water quality) is essential to ensure optimal corrosion protection. Pay attention to the condition of the anode during installation inspections – this will help avoid serious problems with the tank in the future.
