Ariston Hot Water Heater Maintenance

07.01 Unknown


In restrospect the water heater could have given more years of service if there regular maintenace of the water heater is done.

All modern water heater has a magnesium anode installed inside the tank. This serves to provide the cathodic anti-rust protection of the iron water tank. The magnesium anode attracts

the corrosive substances found in the water and binds them to the magnesium saving the the iron tank from corrosion.

Regular replacements of the magnesium anode rod will ensure that the cathodic protection is active.

These pictures shows the heavily corroded magnesium anode rod. In fact it has fallen off from it mount on the heater element.

Ariston Hot Water Heater Replacement And Problems

06.44 Unknown


This hard working Ariston water heater developed a problem after seven long years of use.

There seems to be some corrosion resulting in a slight leaking of rust stained water from the water outlet and inlet and also staining the casing.

The water heater leaking is not a big problem just yet, but the rust color water droplet can stained the tiles on the bathroom floor, especially those partially porous anti slip tiles.

These pictures shows some simple steps you can take for the hot water heater replacement. If you are not good with a spanner and pipes it is best to call a plumber. I called a plumber as I am just too lazy.

Computer Monitor Recyling

20.47 Unknown

I took apart a Philips 17inch monitor, curious as to what useful items I can recovered from it. Star find is about 500gm of copper wire from the deflection yoke, the degausing coil and other odds and end focusing coils in the deflection yoke.

Taking out the deflection yoke is easy, you dont need to break the crt glass, like is shown in many videos on crt ( hey even the professional recyclers do it, and thats a bit dangerous not to mention actually takes more time ). You just need to loosin the clip around the yoke with a Allen screw driver and then twist the yoke loose with your hands. Wear gloves to proper a better grip and to offer hand protection.
