By degrading in a controlled manner, it prevents rust from attacking the metal walls of the heater. It is an adaptable part (ref. 00205117), compatible with water heaters from Ariston, Fleck, Atlantic, Eldom, Electrolux, Zanussi, Hotpoint-Ariston and Albin Trotter. Replacing it periodically is key to extending the appliance's lifespan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCommon symptoms\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe hot water smells like sulfur or \"rotten egg\", a sign that the anode is depleted.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eReddish water or rust particles are detected when opening the hot water tap.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe water heater loses efficiency or takes longer to heat due to accumulated sediment.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eMore than 2 years have passed since the last anode inspection.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhy does this part wear out?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eIt is a sacrificial part: it consumes itself naturally to protect the tank.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eHard water (highly calcified) accelerates the wear of the magnesium.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eLack of periodic maintenance leaves the tank unprotected once exhausted.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical characteristics\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: magnesium.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eDiameter: 21 mm.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eLength: 230 mm.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThread: M5×10.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eType: adaptable (universal).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you have doubts about whether this anode fits your water heater, contact us with the appliance model and we will confirm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eCompatible models\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eAriston\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eFleck\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eAtlantic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eEldom\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eElectrolux\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eZanussi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eHotpoint-Ariston\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eAlbin Trotter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"UNIVERSALE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57047824073082,"sku":"00205117","price":8.3,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0683\/8026\/2676\/files\/1_ab576eb6-e13b-4ed0-be9d-9d1d3bee0518.webp?v=1768521623","url":"https:\/\/alectrotodo.com\/products\/anodo-de-magnesio-m5-para-termo-electrico-00205117","provider":"Electrotodo.es","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
