TonGass (2-Pack Zinc Anode Weight Anti-Electrolysis Sacrificial Anode — Open-Box, 18% Off

TONGASS ZINC ANODE WEIGHT - This is a compact skimmer weight 5.6 ounces, 3 1/4 inches in diameter, and 1/4 inch in thickness. It’s a simple solid zinc disk, but it’s probably the most effective weight for your skimmer baskets. It’s cheap, effective, and will save you from headaches later on ANTI-ELECTROLYSIS SACRIFICIAL ANODE - Aside from weighing down your skimmer basket, this zinc anode weight neutralizes the salt in pools with salt systems, protecting metal components of the ladders, screws, rails, lighting frames, and other metal components that are in constant contact with the saltwater GALVANIC ANODE FOR PASSIVE CATHODIC PROTECTION - The way the sacrificial anode works is that it corrodes first before other metal components in the pool - the zinc (anode) basically protecting more “noble” metals (cathode). Together with equipotential and pool water bonding, this galvanic anode will aid in preventing corrosion INCLUDE 2 CABLE TIES - Whether you bolt it inside or outside your skimmer, the sacrificial anode will work its magic. It will secure the skimmer basket in place. There are 4 mounting holes, the center hole is 5/16 inch in diameter and the 3 outer holes are 1/4 inch in diameter SALT SYSTEM SWIMMING POOL MUST- HAVE - Prolong the lifespan of your salt system pool’s metal components. This is imperative even if you haven’t yet noticed signs of corrosion. Don’t wait for corrosion to eat away your pool’s screws, ladders, and more! This zinc anode weight is a simple yet effective solution to corrosion

Double-Purpose Zinc Anode Weight

Tie-down or mount this solid zinc disk inside or outside to serve as a reliable weight for your skimmer basket. And as it sits there on the skimmer, the zinc anode disk does its magic, attracting free electrons away from other metals to protect them from corrosion. Not only that, but this zinc anode weight can also prevent plaster discoloration.

You have a weight and a sacrificial anode all in one disk form!

Zinc Anode Usage Tips

• Use zip ties if you don’t want to mount the sacrificial anode permanently into the skimmer.
• There is no difference in the effect of the zinc anode whether you install it inside or outside the skimmer basket.
• Sacrificial anodes don’t rust, but they deteriorate. Depending on your pool water’s pH, the sacrificial anode can last for several pool seasons.
• You’ll need to replace the sacrificial anode when reduces to half its original size.
• Adding one sacrificial anode will prolong the life of the other. But you need to first observe the rate of deterioration of one zinc anode disc before deciding to add another.
