What is a major cause of electrode system failure in a water storage facility?

Corrosion of electrodes is a significant issue in water storage facilities that can lead to the failure of an electrode system. Electrodes are typically made from materials that can be susceptible to corrosion due to various environmental factors, including the quality of the water, the presence of certain chemicals, and the electrical currents flowing through them. When corrosion occurs, it can weaken the structural integrity of the electrodes, reduce their efficiency in measuring parameters like water quality and level, and ultimately compromise the entire monitoring and control system of the facility. If corrosion is left unchecked, it can lead to increased maintenance costs, operational disruptions, and the potential for system failures that could have been prevented with regular monitoring and maintenance.
