3.1 ANODES
The Hale Anode System helps prevent damage caused by galvanic corrosion in the
pump. Galvanic corrosion occurs when different conducting materials are connected
electrically and exposed to fluid. This results in corrosion of the less resistant of the
two metals, while the more resistant metal is protected.
Hale offers two types of anodes:
 Zinc anode - recommended for
pumps where corrosion is an issue,
including brackish or salt water
exposure.
 Magnesium anode - available for use
if the pump already uses zinc
anodes and galvanic corrosion is still
a concern. Magnesium anodes con-
tain a notch in the hex head for iden-
tification.
The Anode kit is designed for installation
in the standard Hale 115 series flange
opening. It is recommended that one anode be installed on each suction manifold and
one on the discharge side. Performance varies with water quality and PH.
