Return policy

Merchandise in original condition can usually be returned for a full refund of the purchase price, not including shipping. E-mail mail@waterheaterrescue.com for instructions and authorization.

Ordering Details

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.

Important: Before you order

Are you ordering the right anode? This anode requires its own port in the water heater and is usually a replacement. Make sure you have a hex-head rod in your tank and not a combo (outlet) anode.

Price: $53, shipping included. California residents add $3.86.
