I have used small roughly 4x4in pieces of metal as my sacrificial anodes. At least two, 180 degrees apart.
They get gunked up pretty fast and cleaning them (which you have to do or replace them) gets old, time consuming, and messy.
Has anyone tried tin can or coffee can? Granted the inside of a tin can is coated, but the outside with label removed I dont believe is, use that side toward the cathode. (part youre trying to clean).
We all have lots of cans and could secure it just using alligator clamps, no need to drill, nut n bolt, crimp...and then having to re-do all that because the anode WILL get gunked up and efficiency goes way down and takes longer to remove rust from what youre trying to clean, or wont clean at all.
