In theory, this is all true. Does the device actually make a difference? I doubt it, simply because the electrolysis they refer to happens in water. If you have nothing but water in your coolant system you're in trouble anyway. All coolants have molecular properties to resist electrolysis and other electro-chemical breakdown.

Just use distilled water and you won't have to worry about corrosion. With Pure H20 and coolant there will be no other salts or minerals in the system to liberate the hydrogen in the water to provide the free oxygen to oxidize the aluminum. Instead of tryng to force the oxidation to happen at an electrode, remove the fuel for the oxidation in the first place.
Heck, even filtered, or softened water will greatly reduce the corrosion in your coolant system over most tap water. Just have one of those water softener companies test your water, or maybe not depending on whether you can live with the findings of what you drink and bathe with.
