Product description

Protect your water heater tank from the damaging effects of electrolysis and corrosion with the Blue Lightning Magnesium Anode Rod. This 44-inch sacrificial rod is designed to be the primary defense for your tank, attracting corrosive elements in the water so they attack the rod instead of the tank's steel lining. The magnesium construction is particularly effective in softer water or areas with moderate mineral content, providing a higher voltage potential for superior protection compared to aluminum alternatives. This model features a flexible, 4-section design, which is a lifesaver for installations in areas with low ceiling clearance where a standard solid rod cannot be inserted. The rod is equipped with a 3/4" NPT hex plug for easy installation into the top of the tank. By regularly checking and replacing your anode rod, you can effectively double the life of your water heater and prevent the "rotten egg" odor often caused by bacteria reacting with sediment and sulfur in the tank.

Product highlights

• Flexible 4-Section Design: Allows for easy installation in tight spaces or low-ceiling basements without needing to tilt the tank.
• High-Quality Magnesium: Provides excellent cathodic protection for residential water heaters, especially in soft to medium water.
• Standard Hex Plug: Features a 3/4" male NPT thread that fits most major residential water heater brands.
• Extends Tank Life: Sacrificially corrodes to prevent the internal steel tank from rusting and leaking.
• Corrosion Defense: Engineered to attract aggressive water minerals, neutralising their impact on the heater's lining.
