Ice Eater 24901 Sacrificial Aluminum Anode, 1/2 Inch, for De-Icers, Aerators and Circulators
The Ice Eater 24901 is a sacrificial aluminum anode sized for 1/2 inch applications, built to protect surface aerators, circulators, and de-icers from galvanic corrosion. As the anode is a less noble metal than the surrounding hardware, it corrodes preferentially, sacrificing itself to shield the more critical metal components of the unit from electrolytic damage over time. This is a routine wear item on any de-icer or aerator installation, and checking anode condition periodically helps keep the protected equipment running as intended.
The anode is made from aluminum alloy, a material commonly chosen for its sacrificial corrosion properties in marine and freshwater environments. This anode comes complete with an Allen wrench, so the fastener needed to mount or swap the anode is included in the package rather than needing to be sourced separately. Replacement is a straightforward maintenance task once the anode has worn down, helping extend the service life of the de-icer, aerator, or circulator it is installed on.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Ice Eater 24901 anode made of? It is made from aluminum alloy, which is the sacrificial material designed to corrode in place of the more critical metal components on the de-icer, aerator, or circulator it protects.
What size is this anode? The Ice Eater 24901 sacrificial anode is a 1/2 inch size.
Does the 24901 anode come with any tools? Yes, an Allen wrench is included with the Ice Eater 24901 anode for installation or removal.
What equipment is the 24901 anode used on? The Ice Eater 24901 is intended for use with de-icers, surface aerators, and circulators.
Why does a de-icer or aerator need a sacrificial anode? The anode corrodes preferentially because it is a less noble metal, protecting the more critical metal parts of the de-icer, aerator, or circulator from galvanic corrosion.
How do I know when to replace the Ice Eater 24901 anode? As a sacrificial anode, the 24901 is designed to wear down over time as it protects the unit; it should be inspected periodically and replaced once it has visibly corroded away.
What are the dimensions of the 24901 anode package? The Ice Eater 24901 anode has product dimensions of 10 x 6 x 2 inches.
Is this a genuine Ice Eater part? Yes, the 24901 is the Ice Eater manufacturer part number for this sacrificial aluminum anode.
What is included when I order the 24901 anode? The package includes the aluminum alloy sacrificial anode itself along with an Allen wrench for installation.
Is the 24901 anode specific to certain de-icer models? No specific make, horsepower, or model fitment is listed for the Ice Eater 24901; it is described for general use on de-icers, aerators, and circulators.
