Zinc Anode for Kasco De-icers
Description
Protect Your Kasco Equipment From Corrosion
A sacrificial zinc anode is supplied on the shaft of Kasco equipment to help protect against corrosion caused by electrolysis. Sometimes searched online as a zink anode or zinkanod, this replacement component wears away over time, making regular inspection and timely replacement an important part of routine Kasco maintenance.
A Small Part That Helps Protect Your Investment
A zinc anode is supplied on the shaft of Kasco equipment to help protect the equipment from corrosion due to electrolysis. The zinc anode should be inspected regularly and replaced when it becomes excessively worn.
Corrosion from electrolysis is more commonly associated with saltwater or brackish water, but the zinc anode should still be periodically checked in all installations.
Helps Protect Against Corrosion
The sacrificial zinc anode helps protect submerged Kasco equipment against corrosion caused by electrolysis.
Inspect Regularly
Kasco recommends inspecting the zinc anode at least every two to three months.
Replace When Worn
Replace the anode annually or sooner if it becomes more than 50% depleted, reduced to half its original size, or white in color.
Choose the Correct Zinc Anode
Kasco De-Icer zinc anodes are available for 1/2 HP, 3/4 HP and 1 HP De-Icers. Choose the replacement anode according to the motor shaft size and horsepower of your De-Icer.
| De-Icer Size | Zinc Anode | Motor Shaft |
|---|---|---|
| 1/2 HP De-Icer | Zinc Anode for 1/2 in. Motor Shaft | 1/2 in. |
| 3/4 HP De-Icer | Zinc Anode for 1/2 in. Motor Shaft | 1/2 in. |
| 1 HP De-Icer | Zinc Anode for 5/8 in. Motor Shaft | 5/8 in. |
When Should You Replace the Zinc Anode?
Do not wait until the zinc anode has completely deteriorated. Regular inspection helps make sure the sacrificial anode continues protecting your Kasco equipment.
Inspect Every 2–3 Months
Periodically inspect the zinc anode in all installations.
Check Its Size
Replace the zinc anode if it has been reduced to half of its original size.
Watch for White Color
The zinc anode should also be replaced if it becomes white in color.
Replace Annually
Kasco recommends replacement every year or sooner when the anode is more than 50% depleted.
