High-Purity Magnesium Anodes
Replacement Anodes for redoX Tanks
High-purity magnesium anodes are fitted inside every redoX electrochemical reaction tank and play a key role in the corrosion protection process.
As part of the electrochemical reaction within the tank, the anode is gradually consumed. This is a normal part of operation and shows that the electrochemical cell is active.
Replacement anodes are available from stock in the UK, helping maintain ongoing corrosion protection without the need for chemical additives.
eleXion uses high-purity magnesium anodes to support strong electrochemical performance, uniform anode degradation and effective oxygen consumption within the reaction chamber. Aanode performance is influenced by the purity of the probe alloy, dissolved gases in the water and the electrical conductivity of the heating water.
Why choose eleXion Anodes?
How Magnesium Anodes Support Corrosion Protection
Electrochemical Reaction
01The anode forms part of the electrochemical cell within the reaction chamber, supporting constant corrosion protection in closed-loop heating and cooling systems.
Oxygen Consumption
02High-purity magnesium supports strong reactivity, helping drive oxygen consumption within the water treatment process.
Uniform Degradation
03eleXion uses high-quality magnesium anodes to support uniform degradation across the anode structure.
Water Quality Influence
04Dissolved gases and electrical conductivity both affect anode service life. Lower conductivity water can help extend anode life.
Replacement and Servicing
05Anodes are consumable components and should be checked and replaced as part of routine redoX servicing.
When should anodes be replaced?
High-purity magnesium anodes typically have an average lifespan of 2–5 years, depending on water quality and system conditions.
Service life can be extended when the electrical conductivity of the heating water is reduced to below 100 µS/cm through desalination. For best electrochemical performance, eleXion recommends changing the anode every two years, regardless of remaining service life.
- Average lifespan: 2–5 years
- Recommended change: every 2 years
- Lower conductivity can extend service life
- Replacement supports ongoing tank performance

Frequently Asked Questions
What are eleXion anodes used for?
eleXion anodes are used inside redoX electrochemical reaction tanks to support the corrosion protection process in closed-loop heating and cooling systems.
Are anodes fitted inside every redoX tank?
Yes. High-purity magnesium anodes are fitted within every electrochemical reaction tank.
Why are the anodes made from high-purity magnesium?
High-purity magnesium supports strong electrochemical activity within the reaction chamber. The current page states that lower-purity anodes can contain unwanted foreign substances that may reduce anode purity and affect reactions within the tank
How do anodes protect the system?
The anode forms part of the electrochemical cell inside the reaction tank. As the cell operates, the anode is consumed, supporting oxygen consumption and corrosion protection within the system.
How long do the anodes last?
High-purity magnesium anodes have an average lifespan of 2–5 years.
How often should anodes be changed?
eleXion recommends changing the anode every two years for best electrochemical performance, regardless of remaining service life
Does water conductivity affect anode life?
Yes. Lower conductivity water can help extend the service life of the anode. The existing page states that service life can be extended if conductivity is reduced to below 100 µS/cm by desalination.
Are replacement anodes available in the UK?
Yes. Replacement anodes are available from stock in the UK to help maintain corrosion protection.
Can anodes be used without chemical additives?
Yes. Magnesium anodes are used as part of the electrochemical water treatment process, supporting corrosion protection without harmful chemical additives.
