Each rod is 105 mm (4.13 in) long and 18 mm (0.71 in) in diameter, designed as a slightly smaller metric M6 fit that works with many common ionizer housings. They’re made from durable copper that will naturally oxidize during use — that gradual wearing process is how the ionizer disperses beneficial minerals into the water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long will these copper anodes last in my pool ionizer?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLongevity depends on water conditions, ionizer runtime, and mineral demand.

Ideal buyers measure their existing anode size, prefer durable copper parts, and plan routine maintenance.
