Will the electric water heater leak electricity?

Under normal circumstances, electric water heaters will not leak electricity. In order to prevent water alkali and scale from adhering to the inner container of electric water heater, ordinary household water storage electric water heaters generally adopt the method of sacrificing anode, and use magnesium rods to release magnesium ions to slow down the corrosion of water alkali and scale to the inner container.

However, it should be noted that once the magnesium rod is consumed, if it is not replaced in time, it will easily lead to corrosion of the inner container or corrosion and perforation of the heating pipe, which will lead to the danger of electric leakage and personal injury.
