Product details
The Pool Tool 104-D is a 2 inch slip by slip inline zinc anode. It plumbs into the line and attaches to the bonding wire, and it ships with 4 feet of #8 copper bonding wire.
What galvanic corrosion does
Dissimilar metals sitting in the same body of water set up a small current, and the least noble metal in that circuit is the one that gets eaten. Left alone, that is the heater, the light housings and the rails. A zinc anode is deliberately the least noble metal in the loop, so the current attacks the zinc instead.
How it is installed
The anode goes inline on a 2 inch run, slip on both ends, and the anode is attached to the bonding wire so it covers every bonded metal part in the system. This part is sold for new installations.
Expect to replace it
An anode is a wear part by design. It is doing its job when it is wasting away, so it should be inspected on a schedule and changed once it is spent.
