Good evening all,
Well, tomorrow morning I'm going to replace the Anode Rod in my Hot Water Tank.
Should go good, I bought an Electric Impact Wrench and 3/4" NPT Tap.
Question about Anode Rods
I have a piece of Magnesium .850" Dia. x 10" long
My SUMP PUMP is a Submersible with a Cast Iron Base.
It's held up good since 2003 but has some corrosion on the cast iron / that's expected.
I wonder, is there a way I could make an Anode Rod to keep the Sump Pump from rusting ? ? ?
Would I just hang the Magnesium in the sump water ?
Would the Magnesium have to be touching the Cast Iron ?
Would the Magnesium have to be connected by a Ground Wire ?
I have read that Boats use Anode Rods in various forms.
Maybe some boaters here could give me some advise.
Thank you.
