This paper summarizes the second year of operation of precious metal anodes in open hole deep ground beds. Two anodes failed due to electrical cable faults. Four anodes continued to perform satisfactorily at outputs up to 122 amperes. Plastic casing was installed after caving in of the open hole was observed. There appears to be a cost advantage of precious metal anodes in open hole deep ground beds compared to conventional deep anodes.
