Hi All,

I noticed an anode for swamp coolers advertised on
a web site. Not to ask too stupid a questions, but how
is this installed? Do you throw it into the tub? Or,
do you bury it in the ground (dirt) and run a wire to
to bottom of the cooler?

Many thanks,

Surprisingly, were you to actually buy one of the things, the
installation instructions would come with it.

It has a wire with a terminal crimped on that you attach to the metal
frame above the water level. It comes with a plastic tray that isolates
the sacrificial anode from the metal below the water level. The tray
holds the anode below the water level and sort of catches the particle
flakes as the anode is "consumed." Its purpose is to let the anode
corrode away and not the metal frame.


Thank you!
