External Corrosion
A leaking connector can corrode a hole right through the top of your tank!
The TANK SAVER KIT TM fights against:
• external leakage
• fitting buildup
• corrosion that comes from using dielectrically incorrect connections.
The TANK SAVER KIT TM provides you with plastic lined steel nipples on cold and hot water connections and the drain valve assembly to put distance between dissimilar metals, reducing corrosion opportunities.
Internal Corrosion
To protect your water heater's inner steel wall from corroding an anode rod made of magnesium or aluminum is installed in all tank type water heaters.
This anode rod sets up a chemical reaction between the two dissimilar metals allowing the anode rod to corrode instead of the inner steel wall. Once this anode is depleted, the tank faces certain death.
Installing a TANK SAVER KIT TM now and replacing anodes on a regular maintenance schedule can make the water heater you own now the last one you'll ever need.
Sediment Build-Up
Sediment in the bottom of your tank keeps the anode from protecting it.
This build-up will also:
• burn out the electric elements
• cut energy efficiency by
slowing the transfer
of heat to the water
• create a loud
rumbling noise
Sediment Removal
The TANK SAVER KIT TM includes a special cold water inlet tube that is longer than standard and designed with a curve on the end.
This longer and curved dip tube moves cold water closer to the bottom of the tank pushing up more useable hot water and creates a swirling current that keeps sediment moving reducing build-up.
To enhance sediment removal the TANK SAVER KIT TM provides you with an all brass 3/4" full port drain valve assembly that provides 8x more volume than the standard 1/4" drain provided by most manufacturers.
The curved dip tube and larger valve opening are the integral parts of our TURBO FLUSH TM system. |
