Features:_x000D_1. Magnesium rod is also called anode rod, the main component is magnesium._x000D_2. In the inner tank of the water heater, it is in contact with water at the same time as the inner tank (mainly iron), and the primary battery is formed due to chemical principles._x000D_3. Since the water in the inner tank is not pure water, it always contains various impurities and has certain corrosiveness. When the water temperature exceeds 40 C, scale will be generated. If there is no magnesium rod, the inner tank will be corrosion._x000D_4. The basic function is to prevent corrosion and scale, and to protect the liner._x000D_5.
