No problems with the water heater

In combination with LAGUR -treated water, the classic anode is still the simplest and cheapest solution for protecting hot water tanks against corrosion from the inside.

district heating coils have grown

Large hot water tanks that provide hot water for many homes in a property or development have a hard time. We see this regularly when we look into an emptied hot water tank that has not been used. LAGUR -treated water.

The typical picture is that after a minimum of 9-12 months, the district heating coils that heat the water have become heavily overgrown with limescale , and so is the inserted sacrificial anode.

An anode is made of a less noble metal – typically magnesium – than the metal of the surrounding container itself. This means that it is the anode that naturally sacrifices itself and is corroded by the electrical voltage in the water. This protects the hot water tank from galvanic corrosion and prevents leaks.

Some tests with electrolysis in the hot water tank instead of the classic anode. In electrolysis, an aluminum rod is inserted instead, which has a longer lifespan than magnesium, which is why the anode is more active and over a longer period. However, in order for it to sacrifice itself, it must be adjusted by applying current. The precision of the adjustment becomes crucial, and the system must be serviced regularly.

the limescale becomes minimal with lagur

IN LAGUR We work for maintenance-free, resource-saving solutions for the benefit of residents and businesses, and in combination with LAGUR The good old, natural anode solution in hot water tanks is still an easy, simple solution that significantly reduces the need for maintenance because both the district heating coils and the anode last longer.

When the water in a hot water tank is affected by LAGURS water treatment solution , the anode typically only needs to be replaced every two or three years. At the same time, the district heating coils remain shiny and almost free of limescale .

In combination with LAGUR -treated water, the classic sacrificial anode is still the simplest and cheapest solution to protect the water heater from corrosion.
