The Anti-Electrolysis Skimmer Basket Weight by Tongass is a compact zinc anode designed to weigh down skimmer baskets while offering critical protection for your pool’s metal components. Weighing 5.6 ounces with a 3 1/4-inch diameter and 1/4-inch thickness, this zinc anode effectively neutralizes salt in saltwater pools, preventing corrosion on ladders, screws, rails, and lighting frames. By acting as a sacrificial anode, it corrodes before other metals, safeguarding your pool's metal components through passive cathodic protection. Equipped with two cable ties and four mounting holes for secure installation, this anode weight is essential for prolonging the lifespan of saltwater pool systems.
