8.2 Annual replacement of the magnesium anode
Caution!
During the warranty period, it is mandatory to perform annual maintenance and replacement of the magnesium
anode. The annual maintenance and replacement of the magnesium anode is done at the expense of the end
user.
Failure to perform annual maintenance and replacement of the magnesium anode will result in forfeiture of the commercial
warranty.
Failure to submit the minutes of the intervention for the annual replacements of the magnesium anode entails the loss of the
commercial warranty.
Defects that cannot be attributed to the manufacturer, caused by deficiencies of the installations to which the equipment is
connected (water supply installation, power supply installation), such as:
- failure of components due to clogging or corrosion, due to improper quality of water used: use of water with a high
degree of hardness; with a pH or a level of chlorides (free residual chlorine and total chlorides) that does not fall within
the specified limits; or with chemicals that cause or favor the occurrence of corrosion phenomena;
- defects caused by the supply of the equipment with rainwater, fountain water or water that is very aggressive and does
not comply with the norms in force and that causes or favors the occurrence of corrosion phenomena;
- defects caused by rapid wear of the magnesium anode (in a period of time even shorter than the annual term of
preventive intervention);
- defects caused by failure to replace the magnesium anode in time (before its total consumption, which can occur in a
period of time even shorter than the annual term of preventive intervention). By consuming it completely, the anti-
corrosion cathodic protection is canceled and implicitly the corrosion phenomena of the stainless steel body of the
boiler are favored (especially in the area of the welding cords);
The magnesium anode must be replaced ONLY by personnel AUTHORIZED and approved by the
manufacturer.
To replace the anode, perform the following steps - see figure 11:
- disconnect the boiler from electricity;
- turn off the cold water supply tap;
- open the hot water tap;
- operate the vent at the top of the boiler;
- drain the boiler to the level of the hot water outlet connection;
- remove the front cover item 1;
- remove the screws pos.2 with a cross screwdriver and remove
the top cover pos. 3;
- remove the fixing connection of the anode pos.5 with a key S =
36 together with the vent;
- open the locknut - pos.6;
- open the anode (7) and replace it with a new one (its initial
diameter is 22mm);
- tighten the locknut;
- screw the anode fixing plug back in place;
- fill the boiler with water.
After performing the above operations, the boiler is put back into
operation respecting the commissioning instructions.
Caution!
Ring O pos. 5 must be replaced.
8.3 Checking the hydraulic safety group
The operation of the hydraulic safety unit is very important to avoid the internal overpressures of the boiler
body.
The hydraulic safety unit is checked annually. During the check, clean and remove any lime scale that may
be deposited.
8.4 External cleaning
Neutral soap solutions should be used to clean the outer coating and the use of abrasive products or those
based on organic solvents (alcohol, gasoline, etc.) should be avoided.
