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 the Elysator is installed, 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 |
