  The powered anode consists of a transformer, hex plug and weighted, insulated electric lead (lower part) that is suspended inside the water heater.
 
What's included
  • a powered anode
  • pipe-thread seal tape
  • instructions

This replaces the anode that came with your tank. Fits all brands with a hex-head anode in its own port up to 50 gallons.

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.
Tools needed
Socket wrench with 1 1/16-inch socket. For further details, check out the Tools page and Know-how.
 
Important: Before you order

This anode must replace the one that came with the tank or the smell won't go away. If your tank has two anodes, the second one must also be removed. If your tank has just a combo anode/hot-water outlet/nipple, you will need the powered anode for combo rod tanks. Check your tank configuration.
