Default Re: Sacrificial Anode

I made this anode using a piece of magnesium inside a piece of nylon hose attached to my radiator cap.
You can see it did corrode. I also use "No=Rosion".

You can see that it did corrode. It would be nice if radiators were made with a drain plug at the very bottom of the bottom tank for washing out the anode sediment.

I find it helpful to periodically check the PH of the coolant with test strips like we used in high school chemistry class a million years ago. Or you can use a digital multimeter.
