The products offered here are designed to make water heaters last longer, or solve specific problems. Installation is potentially do-it-yourself, but if you have the least doubt about your abilities, we suggest that you obtain expert help.

Prices include ground shipping by UPS within the contiguous United States. UPS does not deliver to post boxes. Allow 2-3 weeks for shipping, but we usually ship within 24 hours. Hawaii and Alaska are only served by Second Day Air or Priority Mail. People in those states should e-mail to learn shipping costs. We do not ship outside the United States.

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 combo rod in your tank and not a hex-head anode. Nearly all Bradford Whites and some A.O. Smiths employ this configuration. Also tell us the brand of your heater.

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!

This product will not work in Rheem/Ruud/Richmond/GE water heaters made in 2005 or later. You'll have no water pressure.

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.

Price: $83, shipping included. California residents add $6.85.
