Will these tabs corrode the pipes and do it any good?

The condensate discharge lines out of the furnace/Air Conditioning unit are all PVC in my system. I have not had any issues with these pipes. Also, the condensate discharges into ejector pump basin to get pumped out. I have had no issues with the pump either.

We installed the tablets a month ago. To date, we have not experienced any problems with our system.

I have used similar tablets made by the same company for years without any adverse effects.

Yes, BUT be careful it will burn you and it will show you all the weak spots in the drain pipe by causing a leak.

It shouldn't but these aren't as great as I thought, they warp and discolor in the heat, I think the anti stick coating is what's causing the problem. I would probably go w/ an all metal, no fancy coatings unit next time.

The pipes I have are PVC and they seemed fine. Just made sure to run the water for a minute or so to wash all of the lye away.

I haven't seen any rust issues so far. Buying better hardware certainly won't hurt anything, but I would recommend using some type of thread lubricant to protect the exposed threads as you would in any other outdoor application.

We have 2 of these. neither are corroded. I use mine for both hot and cold drinks, with no problems. I don't put them in the dishwasher, this may cause corrosion.

No it will not. I understand you want aluminum/zinc to aid with that. However it might be worth reading about this issue on waterheaterrescue dot com (i'm just a customer, not affiliated) for their advice related to various options.

Should work just fine, you will have to use the enclosed plastic ties to secure the magnets to the pipes though.

I think it should be safe for the older pipes because it is environmentally friendly which means there are no harsh chemicals. The scent is not potent as well.

Hi, Moochie. I'd say you'll run into issues with how much weight your stud- or anchor-points will be able to support well before you need worry about straining these. The caveat to that is the pressure needs to be entirely vertical as horizontal pressure can easily deform the tabs.

It depends on how irregular the surface is. If it is hard and bumpy then no. If relatively smooth like normal cement surface then ok. I found out you need a firm rubber hammer and then whack it when the interlocking tabs line up.

yes,good luck on your project. check your thread, should be good to go. update you may want to use plumbers tape on your threads, and do not over tighten; you will do a good job, just take your time, and check for leaks until they are okay!

Yes, I've used them out side for years. They will rust without protection( I haven't protected them) but still last for years.

Yes, if you have the correct 1 inch pipe fitting on the tank, the anode will protect the tank from corroding. If the length is too long, cut to suit

No, definitely not. The only way I know of is to replace the pipe(s) causing the rust.

Yea that does seem very quick especially for having 2 in there On the lowest level. Unless the dispenser is bad Or the tabs were not made right. When I used them they would last for couple days. Almost as long as my 3" chlorine tabs

Nope. Water will destroy these. I had these above an aquarium. The little splashes of water caused these to corrode and fail. There are water proof versions of these. I use those now.
