If the anodes have reduced in size by more than 40% at any point along their length or if they
are severely pitted, new anodes should be fitted. Particular attention should be paid to the
ends of each anode to ensure excessive localised depletion has not occurred. Where the
anodes are covered with particles they should be cleaned.
When refitting the inspected or replaced anode, a suitable jointing compound should be
applied to the threads of the anode to prevent water leakage.
Where a water softener is used, the treated water may increase the rate of anode depletion
therefore the condition of the anodes must be checked more frequently.
