Product Introduction
Water heaters are essential appliances in homes, businesses, and industrial facilities across the globe. However, one of the common issues faced by water heater owners is corrosion of the internal tank, especially when hard water or water with high conductivity is present. Traditionally, sacrificial anode rods—typically made of magnesium, aluminum, or zinc—have been used to prevent corrosion by slowly dissolving over time and attracting corrosive elements. These anode rods require regular monitoring and replacement, and they often produce unpleasant smells like rotten eggs due to the reaction between magnesium and sulfur in the water.
In contrast, the MMO Powered Water Heater Anode Rod, also referred to as a titanium anode rod, offers a permanent, maintenance-free alternative to sacrificial rods. It is an electrically powered anode system made from high-purity titanium and coated with Mixed Metal Oxide (MMO). Unlike traditional anodes, it does not degrade and requires no periodic replacement.
By applying a low electrical current, the MMO titanium anode actively prevents corrosion in the water heater tank. This innovation not only extends the tank’s service life but also eliminates odor problems caused by bacteria reacting with magnesium or sulfur. It is ideal for both municipal and well water systems and is particularly effective in soft water environments where conventional anodes tend to overreact.
At Shaanxi CXMET Technology Co., Ltd., we specialize in the design and manufacture of MMO Powered Anode Rods engineered to deliver long-lasting protection, superior reliability, and zero maintenance.
Removes Unpleasant Odors
Completely eliminates the rotten egg smell caused by sulfur bacteria, especially in well water applications.
Provides Years of Protection
The MMO coating and titanium base remain intact for over a decade, offering continuous corrosion prevention without any material loss.
Zero Maintenance Required
No need for annual inspection, cleaning, or replacement. Once installed, the rod operates silently and reliably.
Simple Installation
Designed for easy integration into most standard water heaters. Installation can be completed in minutes with basic tools.
Perfect for Softened Water Systems
Sacrificial anodes tend to overreact in softened water, causing premature wear. Our powered anode is stable and non-reactive.
Environmentally Safe
Does not introduce metals or chemicals into your water, making it safe for the entire plumbing system and users.
Energy Efficient
Operates with minimal power consumption and reduces sediment buildup, improving water heater efficiency over time.
