Hamworthy Magnesium Anode 539001075

The Hamworthy 539001075 is a magnesium anode measuring 370mm in length, intended for PS160-200LT appliances. It is a sacrificial component: the magnesium core corrodes in preference to the surrounding metalwork, which limits corrosion damage to the appliance it serves. Once consumed, the anode must be renewed to maintain that protection.

• The anode has visibly reduced in size or is heavily pitted along its length
• The magnesium core has broken down into a soft, crumbly or chalky deposit
• The anode has been consumed to the point where the central core is exposed
• Discoloured or cloudy water from the appliance, indicating the anode is no longer protecting the metalwork
• The anode has reached the end of its service interval and inspection shows significant material loss

• Confirm the appliance model matches PS160-200LT
• Check the existing anode length against the 370mm dimension before removal
• Inspect the anode condition first, as replacement is only required once it is substantially consumed
• Confirm access to the anode port so the part can be withdrawn and refitted without obstruction
