FAQs

What does an anode do in a hot water system?

An anode is a highly reactive metal component that protects the system from corrosion caused by prolonged exposure to hot water. It’s an essential part of your hot water system that stops rust from forming and your water supply from becoming contaminated or unsafe.

Do all hot water systems have anodes?

Yes! All hot water systems, whether they’re fitted in vehicles like caravans and RVs, contain an anode to keep the water supply clean and safe to drink. Especially with a tank water supply, a hot water anode is essential to providing safe water.

How often should you replace hot water heater anode?

As well as being an essential part of any hot water system, hot water tank anodes and hot water heater anodes should be regularly replaced to keep water quality pure, around every five years or so. If you notice that your hot water supply is discoloured and brown looking, this could be a telltale sign that rust or other corrosion is leaching into the water. If you notice discoloured water coming from your caravan within a five-year time frame, replacing the anode for your hot water system is essential.
