Without more details, all I can say is that this is probably due to the normal operating of the plating system. The anodes are going to look pretty beat up as they are used up. If you can't plate anything with them any more, there may be another issue. Post a problem in our support section.

Anodes pitting

How long will the Anodes last? or how much plating can be done with them befor they need to be replaced.
