One of the most commonly found factors limiting the life of water heaters is interior corrosion. The water inside the heater tank can be very harmful to the system as the harsh minerals it contains can build up and eat away at the steel surfaces, a process which is only worsened by the high water temperatures.Anode rods are the most important factor in preventing corrosion and leaks in water heaters. The anode rod deposits electrons into the water that help to create an environment in which the corrosive action is diverted away from the tank walls to the anode rod. Thus, prolonging the service life of the inner tank and the heating pipes.Attached with carbon steel wire or 301 stainless steel braided wire, this four-sectional flexible magnesium anode rod is designed for narrow spaces where a rigid straight anode rod is unable to be inserted into the water heater. It is best for tight situations caused by limited direct access, such as low ceilings, closets, attics, under stairwells or in basements. This linked-style magnesium anode rod is typically used in replacement applications.As an essential element in all living things, magnesium is eco-friendly. Compared to other material types, magnesium anode rod provides a healthier alternative. The magnesium will dissolve into water, leaving sediment at the bottom of the water heater tank over time.
