The
function of the Elysator is based on
the anodic/cathodic principle
i.e. letting a
less noble metal (magnesium) be sacrificed
(corroded)
instead of the system itself,
related to galvanic series / elements.
During
the process the oxygen in the water will be
absorbed creating
H2O and magnesium
hydroxide. When installed the Elysator, the
entire
system will be protected from
corrosion. Even aluminium and
aluminium
alloys are protected.

| What happens? |
| Dilution of magnesium |
| Anode: Mg(s) ? Mg2+(aq) +
2e? |
| Cathode: ?O2 + H2O + 2e? ?
2OH? |
| Total reaction: Mg(s) + ?O2
+ H2O ? Mg (OH)2 |
| Advantages: |
| No chemicals |
| Minimum maintenance |
| Self regulating |
| Kills and prevents growth of bacteria |
| Savings in cost of chemicals and prevention of corrosion related failures |
| Fast ?Pay back? |
| Improved water quality due to sludge and deposits removal |
| Environmentally safe and meets ISO 1400 requirements |
