What kills Hot Water Tanks?
Neglect
The most dangerous enemy of the hot water heater is often the people who buy them and then forget about them.
Leaks can develop over time and can slowly destroy a heater from both the inside as well as the outside.
Internal Rust
Hot water tanks come from the manufacturer with sacrificial anodes installed to prevent them from rusting. The key
word is “sacrificial” as these types of anodes get used up as they function. Once they are depleted to approximately
50% of their original size, the inside of the tank becomes vulnerable to corrosion.
It’s worth pointing out here that water softeners often speed up the anode consumption. The sacrificial anodes
depletion rates will vary based on water temperatures, amount of water passing it and the mineral contents in the
water.
Sediment Build Up
Sediment build up inside the tank is typically made up primarily of limestone which is known to separate from the
water with temperature and/or pressure change. It builds up on the bottom of the tank, elements, inlets and outlets.
Scale build up requires extra energy to heat the water (increasing operating costs) while creating hotspots on the tank
which speeds up the corrosion process on these spots.
High Water Pressure
This is a hidden killer of hot water tanks and one that a lot of people wouldn’t suspect, much less test for. Pressure is
maintained through two devices: a pressure gauge as well as a pressure relief valve. Both of these devices give no
warning when they fail and are required to be tested regularly to ensure proper operation.

The CPA Solution
Installation of Power Anodes:
Our anodes give your tank the maximum life expectancy with the least overall cost and disruption to hot water
service by installing our ‘impressed current’ system
Unlike traditional sacrificial anodes, CPA power anodes do not need to be replaced or disrupt hot water service
to the facility
Our power anodes create an electrical current within the tank that eliminates corrosion without any need for linings,
additional maintenance, or water shut downs
The installation of a power anode will extend the life of the tank, guaranteed
Thorough Inspection of the tank – inside and out
Our fully licensed plumbers, that have gone through specialized training, provide a complete inspection of your hot
water tank and all of its components
Hot Water Tank Certification
After your tanks have been inspected and all the components have passed, a certificate will be mailed and an
electronic version will be issued to you to forward to your insurance company
CPA Water Conditioner
The CPA Water Conditioner is a maintenance-free, eco-friendly, and cost efficient water treatment device that
controls lime scale build-up and removes pre-existing lime scale. Using technology derived from years of research
and development from a team of chemical engineers and scientists, CPA Systems are the most advanced chemical
free water treatment system available today. Now, for the first time, this state-of-the art technology is now available
for the Canadian market.

For the sake of convenience
and profit North America
over the years has become
a throw away society.
This way of life is doing
tremendous damage to our
planet!
Did you know that of the
over 7 million water heaters
manufactured in 2012,
over 85% were replacement
tanks! That was 889 heaters
sold every hour, and, of
course, the numbers
increase each year. The raw
material, energy, and time
that it takes to make,
transport, install and recycle
or dump all those heaters
must be substantial by
anyone’s measure.
Maintaining your hot water heater is important, but it’s a sadly neglected duty.
Maintenance is a minimal cost, and can drastically improve the lifespan of your hot water tank!
for a lifetime!

Impressed-current anodes are not "sacrificial",
so they are not consumed during use. They
feed a very small amount of electricity into the
tank to replace that produced by sacrificial
anodes. The electrode is made of titanium.
Interestingly, while sacrificial anodes are
consumed more rapidly in softened water.
Powered anodes actually work more efficiently
because higher conductivity makes it easier for
electricity to flow between anode and cathode
(tank steel).
When the anode rod is in the hot water tank, the oxygen molecule
wants to take two electrons from the anode rod or the tank. The
anode rod gives up its two electrons quicker than the tank's metal
and protects the tank from corrosion until it is depleted.

CPA-Conditioner
Provides chemical free protection against Limescale
REVOLUTIONARY
BREAKTHROUGH.
The CPA-Conditioner
system has a unique
induction method that
treats all of the water in
your plumbing 24 hours a
day, 7 days a week.
The system induces a
low frequency signal
that is pulsed several
thousand times per
second and propagated
throughout your entire
plumbing system. This
electromagnetic signal
reverses the charge on
the minerals that are
dissolved in the water.
THE ULTIMATE
BOILER ROOM

CPA-Conditioner is
cutting edge technology
is far more effective than
any other physical water
treatment system on the
market. Not only will the
CPA-Conditioner
system eliminate
Limescale from
occurring in your equip.,
it will also remove
existing build-up,
increasing flow and
efficiency.

6. The CPA-Conditioner signal travels throughout the
plumbing system protecting the whole system even if the
water isn’t flowing. The Patented signal uses the water as
it’s conductor in the same way copper wire transmits power
to electronics. Both hot and cold water lines are treated as
the signal travels in both directions. Boilers, valves and
hot water heaters are continuously protected.
The CPA-Conditioner signal travels throughout the
plumbing system following the pipe work. The signal splits
and divides as it encounters “T” fittings
Electronic coil devices simply apply a magnetic field which
will not propagate throughout the plumbing system
Calcium & Magnesium ions

CPA-Conditioner
prevents this by charging
