Caravan Anode Solutions

Nothing says adventure like a weekend away in your caravan as you immerse yourself in the great outdoors. However, what is meant to be the perfect downtime could quickly become a nightmare if your caravan’s hot water system ends up failing you. When your hot water system stops working the way it should because of a compromised anode it may result in water leaks or worse yet, you may have to endure rust-filled water. Preventing a poorly functioning hot water system is easier than you think and is made possible by simply ensuring your hot water system’s anode is in prime condition.

Sacrificial galvanic anodes help to keep your water system functioning properly and the interior of your water tank rust-free. Contact us today to discuss your anode needs with Australia’s leading suppliers and prevent the makeup of your water storage tank from being compromised.

How sacrificial anodes work

Sacrificial anodes are in electrical contact with the tank. This creates a positive and negative charge (much like a battery) running through the water; this draws and repels electrolytes. Separating the one from the other keeps your tank rust-free and water free of rust-residue while the anode takes on the burden of corrosion.

Also known as ‘sacrificial anodes’, magnesium and aluminium rods attract the natural ions in water preventing them from causing damage to the interior of your tank (cathode). This is known as the anode protecting the cathode. The rods ensure the integrity of the tank is retained, and that it remains strong and intact.

A crucial part of your caravan experience

The role of the anode in your hot water system is to maintain the integrity of the water tank’s lining. By providing cathodic protection, your anode vastly improves its lifespan and extends the years of uninterrupted usage you can look forward to. In some cases, the lifespan of your water tank could even be doubled.

It goes without saying that the decision to purchase a high-quality anode is an invaluable investment that can save you the nuisance of a quickly deteriorating hot water system and consequent costly replacement.

Rigorously tested, comprehensively compliant

All our hot water system anodes comply with Australian Standards AS2239-2003. This regulation specifically applies to the galvanic anodes for cathodic protection. Anodes Australia sells a range of these hot water systems (HWS) magnesium and aluminium sacrificial anodes to suit tanks of all sizes, including yours.

We also stock flexible, multi-flexible and straight rods, which are made specifically for tanks installed with or without enough ceiling clearance, or positioned in hard-to-reach places.
