Sacrificial anode and jacket filter: new additions to the range of accessories for electropumps

Sacrificial anode and jacket filter: new additions to the range of accessories for electropumps

18 Aug 2026

When talking about electropumps and submersible motors, attention is almost always focused on the main product. This is right, but it is not enough. The real life of a system also depends on what protects it every day: accessories chosen well, installed correctly, and consistent with the working context.

In the new 2026 FB price list, two accessories have been introduced that respond to this very need: the integrated filter for cooling jackets and boosters, and the sacrificial anode for 6F, 8F, and 10F submersible motors. Two solutions that are simple in logic, but very concrete in their effects: less risk of early failures, greater component protection, and more continuity of service.

The importance of accessories

In a submersible system, the causes of degradation never come from a single factor. There is debris, sand, impurities, corrosion, stray currents, and non-ideal hydraulic conditions. If these elements are not managed during the design or installation phase, the result is almost always the same: premature wear, declining performance, and more frequent maintenance.

For this reason, accessories should not be read as a marginal addition. In many cases, they are the piece that makes the difference between a system that "works" and a system that works well over time.

Integrated filter: simple protection, concrete effect

The first accessory is the integrated filter, a new addition to the FB range of accessories for submersible electropumps, in particular for cooling jackets and boosters. Its function is very clear: to act as a mechanical barrier and block coarse debris before it reaches the hydraulic part.

This means reducing the risk that materials like leaves, twigs, and other floating elements enter the system and cause clogging or wear. In practice, the integrated filter helps to keep the system's performance more stable and protect the electropump from unnecessary stress.

It is an accessory particularly useful in environments like tanks, cisterns, open basins, and in wells lacking very fine upstream filtration.

Sacrificial anode: an extra defense against corrosion

The second accessory is the sacrificial anode, available for FB submersible motors in the 6F, 8F, and 10F versions. Its function is to protect the motor from galvanic corrosion and pitting corrosion, consuming itself instead of the most exposed metal parts.

From a practical point of view, the anode creates an additional defense, it is installed quickly in the lower part of the submersible motor, and becomes particularly useful when the system is located in areas subject to stray currents.

These are conditions that do not concern only the well itself, but also the external context. The presence of railway lines, power lines, photovoltaic systems, or wind turbines can indeed generate phenomena that, over time, accelerate the deterioration of metal surfaces. In these cases, the anode helps to limit the damage, reduce the risk of premature failures, and extend the life of the system.

Here too, the benefit is twofold. On one hand, it protects the motor, and on the other, it safeguards the overall investment with a preventive measure that has a concrete impact on the system's reliability.

Updated price list for electropumps and submersible motors

The new version of the FB price list should be read with this key: more protection, more application awareness, and longer system life. The integrated filter and the sacrificial anode address two very concrete problems in field work: dirt getting where it shouldn't, and corrosion that, if ignored, consumes what should last.

For dealers and well professionals, the message is simple: the right accessories do not add complexity; they remove it. And when a system is well-designed even in the details, it works better, lasts longer, and has fewer surprises.
