Supply and Install

Most gas, electric, and solar storage hot water systems come with a sacrificial anode rod inside the steel cylinder to prevent rust and corrosion. This rod works through the process of electrolysis, gradually depleting over time to protect the system.

To maximise the lifespan of your hot water system, it’s essential to replace the anode regularly. Typically, anodes require replacement every 3 to 5 years, depending on the system's age, condition, and the hardness of your water, which can significantly impact the anode's lifespan.

We can supply and install anodes to keep your hot water system running efficiently. Anodes start from only $49, with installation from $140.

  • Signs include unusual noises from the tank, rusty or discoloured water, a metallic smell in hot water, or reduced hot water efficiency. Routine inspections can identify anode wear before problems arise.

  • By replacing the anode regularly, you prevent premature corrosion of your hot water system, reducing the likelihood of costly repairs or the need for a new tank.

  • While it’s technically possible, replacing an anode requires specialised tools and expertise to avoid damaging your tank or voiding its warranty. It’s recommended to have it done by professionals like Canberra Anode Replacements.
