STORAGE CYLINDER MAINTENANCE AND MAGNESIUM ANODE REPLACEMENT
Check the magnesium anode inside the D.H.W. storage
cylinder for erosion, a minimum of every 12 months or
more frequently in case of hard water or continuous
operation. If it is worn-out, replace it immediately. A non
correct maintenance will invalidate the cylinder warranty.
To check the anode, unscrew the anode nut located on
the top of the cylinder (see fig.3) by turning it counter-
clockwise. If, at the opening of the valve, water comes out
of the valve, the anode is worn and needs to be replaced;
if no water comes out of the valve, the anode is not worn
and therefore still functioning.
Once this operation has
been completed, close the small valve.
