When should I replace my zinc anode?

Regularly inspect the metal that is protected. Increase the surface area if there are signs of corrosion, even with the presence of zinc. Replace the zinc when around half of the anode has corroded. It is preferable for this replacement to happen no more than once a year.

Which is better aluminum or zinc anodes?

Aluminum anodes offer a lighter, more cost-effective, and environmentally friendly option but require frequent cleaning to prevent passivation. On the other hand, zinc anodes are heavier, pricier, and more toxic, yet they are more dependable in saltwater.
