What's
included
|
- a segmented, hex-head aluminum/zinc anode
rod (about 10 inches of overhead clearance needed)
- pipe-thread seal tape
- service sticker
- instructions
This replaces
the anode that came with your tank. Fits all brands.
|
|
What
does it do?
|
- The anode will keep your tank from rusting and breaking, while
alleviating odor problems because of anaerobic bacteria found
in some water that react with regular magnesium or aluminum
anodes to produce hydrogen sulfide gas and a rotten-egg odor.
- The tape will enable you to remove the anode in future to
check it.
- The sticker will help you remember when you installed it.

Tools
needed
|
|
Socket wrench
and 1 1/16-inch socket. For further details, check out the Tools
page and Know-how.
A warning
If you buy
one of these, don't play with it. These are regular anodes that
have been milled down to the core wire on a lathe. That wire can
be bent and straightened about three times, then it snaps.

Important:
Before you order
|
|
Are you ordering
the right anode? This anode must replace the one that came with
the tank or the smell won't go away. Make sure you have a hex-head
rod in your tank and not a combo anode.
If you
have any doubts about what you're ordering, be sure and e-mail
your questions to us. We want you to order only what you need!
mail@waterheaterrescue.com
If you have
well water and/or a water softener, consider a powered
anode. The aluminum/zinc anode might not stop the smell. We
don't want you to waste your money.
