Anodes prevent damage from galvanic corrosion within the pump. Galvanic action pits the pump and pump shaft material through the electrolysis of water in the pump. the popularity of noncorrosive water tanks and piping has increased the incidence of this type of corrosion in today's fire pump.

The Hale anode system provides a sacrificial metal alloy which helps to diminish or prevent pump and pump shaft galvanic corrosion. Hale's anodes fit on any Hale truck mounted pump. Easy to install, they can be mounted in any position. Available in alloy or optional magnesium material.

• A minimum of two anodes per pump are recommended - one on the suction side and one on the discharge side. A typical midship will often have three anodes — one on each suction tube extension and one on the discharge.
• Anodes can be mounted in any position (horizontal or vertical)
