Shipping

Prices include ground shipping by UPS within the contiguous United States. Allow 2-3 weeks for shipping. That said, we try for shipment within 24 hours of receipt, and when we've set up the order, we can give you UPS' estimated delivery date.

Hawaii and Alaska are only served by Second Day Air or Priority Mail. People in those states should e-mail us so we can determine cost. We do not ship outside the United States.

 

Miscellaneous

Doing it yourself: 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.

Anodes and flush kits are of a standard size used by the whole American water heater industry. They will fit all residential tanks with 3/4-inch plumbing.

If you're ordering a flush kit or Water Heater Rescuer Kit, please send an e-mail specifying the height of your water heater from the top to the drain valve, as well as the brand to mail@waterheaterrescue.com. Questions regarding parts can also be sent there. Also, if you're getting a maximum-insulation tank, as we recommend, tell us so that we can include a 4-inch drain valve nipple.

  Magnesium, aluminum anode hex heads compared About anodes: If you contemplate adding an anode to a new tank, make sure both rods are of the same metal. Otherwise, the magnesium rod will be consumed more rapidly in the presence of an aluminum one and you won't get as long a life. How do you tell them apart? An aluminum hex head will be flat on top, while a magnesium rod will have a bump, as in the photo below. The exception to that is Rheem and its sub-brands, Ruud/Richmond/General Electric. As far as we know, Rheem always uses magnesium even though there is no bump on top of its anodes. On the other hand, if the tank is five years old or more, having dissimilar metals is less of an issue, since the original one will likely be largely consumed.
