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.

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!

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.
