Initial work on the "Copper Knight" began almost 30 years ago, but didn't really achieve its true potential until the end of the "Cold War". It was the downsizing of the many defense contractors in this area that provided the right people with the right technology to get the job done.

The "Copper Knight" deals with the "pin-hole dilemma" by using a very old, but very effective method of protecting metals from corrosion. This tried-and-true method is known as Cathodic Protection. Cathodic Protection uses a sacrificial anode to control the corrosion process in many kinds of metals.

In plumbing, the most common application of the method is the use of an anode inside domestic and commercial water heaters. It works so well, that virtually every water heater manufacturer in this country has one...

The "Copper Knight" applies this old technology in a new and unique manner. Instead of protecting the internal surfaces of a water heater, it protects the entire surface of the copper piping system.

T- Series

Our stock 'T' series comes in four basic sizes. From single family homes to high rise condominium applications. These units do a fantastic job of protecting your piping, fixtures and appliances from failure due to internal corrosion. The principle of the sacrificial anode has long been used to protect buildings, bridges, boats, all types of plumbing and even the Statue of Liberty! This same tried and true method is now available to protect the inside surface of your copper or metal water piping.

There are many other different styles for different installation requirements - vertical space no, horizontal space, etc. Suncoast Plumbing will be happy to determine what would be most appropriate for your needs. Just contact us and we should be able to determine which model is best suited for your application.

H- Series

Our H-Series is designed for the larger installation requirements where less frequent anode replacement is desired without compromising protection or efficiency over a longer based maintenance schedule. These units carry two 2" Magnesium alloy Anodes 12" in length, and make replacement of this item less of of a chore to be dealt with.    As the system becomes stabilized, less attention is required.
