5.8 Instructions for replacing the magnesium anodes
If the system is close to water softener the magnesium anode will be destroyed faster and has to be replaced faster. In this case
you have to check the magnesium anodes every six months and replace it if necessary.
If the conductivity of the water is less than 100 μS/cm the anode is losing its corrosion protection effect. In this case it is
recommended it to use electronic protection.
To guarantee storage tank corrosion protection the magnesium anode must be replaced every year. In areas with exceed water
hardness the anode must be replaced every six months.
