Hale has introduced a new concept in reduced pump maintenance. The
AnodeProTM is a new patented device that monitors intelligent anodes placed in the pump and signals when the anode should be replaced. Anodes are an important part of fire pump upkeep as they protect the pump from galvanic corrosion, reducing maintenance costs and extending the life of in-service apparatus.
The AnodeProTM System with Intelligent Anodes can be fitted to any brand of new or used fire pumps with an available 1.25 NPT or flanged opening. The AnodeProTM display monitors up to three anodes on the pump and a color coded indicator light shows when the anode needs to be replaced. This eliminates guess work and unnecessary labor time spent pulling anodes for inspection or drilling holes in anode fittings to check for wear. Worn anodes place your fire pump at risk for corrosion damage. Replacing anodes prematurely is a waste of resources. Made of specialized mil-spec alloy with a stainless steel core, Intelligent Anodes are more effective than standard zinc anodes and have lower costs than magnesium anodes. The stainless steel core supports the anode material and helps prevent nozzle clogs from decaying anodes.
