access flange. The flange gasket is a disposable gasket. Therefore, use a new gasket each
time the flange is removed. You can provide the suitable gasket from our company.
• Carefully remount the thermoplastic cover and the insulation material underneath.
• Follow the steps in 7.2 to fill the tank and start operation.
•
When the tank is drained for cleaning, check the wear of the protective anode and replace it
if it is depleted.
The magnesium anode installed on your product protects the inner surface of the tank from corrosion
caused by water. During cathodic protection, the anode material undergoes abrasion, depending on
the corrosive nature of the water.
For this reason, in order to ensure a long life time of the product, the anode should be checked
periodically and it should be replaced with a new one if the diameter of the anode has decreased to
10-15 mm.
If no signs of wear are observed on the anode during the control, the anode may not be
functioning. In this case, call TANPERA service.
Products that have been damaged by corrosion in the warranty period are excluded from the
warranty if it is detected that the magnesium anode is fully depleted.
Install the anode in place and tighten it.
Open the cold water valve and continue to use the product.
You can obtain the anode that is suitable for your product from our company.
The protective anode is a consumable item and is not covered by the warranty.

• It is not recommended to use other chemicals when cleaning the tank.
• After the cleaning is finished,
reconnect the disconnected pipes
and reinstall the manhole
In order to detect the corrosive nature of the water before it is
too late
, it is useful to carry out the
first control within maximum 6 months from the date of commissioning. The period of subsequent
checks may be determined based on observations at the first control, but not more than once a year.
Follow the steps below for anode control
:
Close the cold water inlet valve.
Decrease the water pressure inside the tank by opening the nearest hot water tap.
Never interfere with the tank under pressure.
Remove the thermoplastic cap at the top of the tank.
Remove the anode in the top center of the tank with suitable tools.
Check the anode. Replace if necessary.
