Aluminium anodes can replace traditional zinc anodes. Aluminium anodes have some advantages over traditional zinc anodes. The alloy the aluminium anode is made from has a higher negative charge than zinc, as well as a longer service life, which means the anode is more active over a longer period.

In total, an aluminium anode produces approx. 70% more Amp/Hours over its lifetime than a comparable traditional zinc anode. As an added benefit, you halve the weight and save a little on price.

NB: There must be no physical connection between aluminium and zinc anodes, as the aluminium anode will protect the zinc anode. Therefore, all anodes on, for example, drives and outboard motors must be either aluminium or zinc. Aluminium can be used in both saltwater and brackish water.

Many manufacturers now use alu anodes as standard on their new engines and boats, e.g. Mercruiser, Mercury, Yanmar, Selva, Torqeedo, Princess and Sunseeker.

6 GOOD REASONS TO CHOOSE ALU ANODES::

• CADMIUM FREE: Without cadmium, a heavy metal that is harmful to the environment.
• LONGER LASTING: 10% longer service life than a zinc anode.
• BETTER PROTECTION: Provides better protection than a zinc anode
• FOR SALTWATER & BRAKISH WATER: Used in both saltwater and brackish water (zinc anodes are for saltwater only).
• LIGHTER: 2.5 times lighter than zinc anodes
• ALUMINIUM BOATS: Ideal for protecting boats with aluminium hulls
