What's
Included
|
- a flexible aluminum/zinc combination (also known as outlet)
anode rod
(about 12 inches of overhead clearance needed). This anode is
.75-inch-diameter by 48 inches long. THIS IS A SUPERIOR PRODUCT
THAT NOBODY ELSE CARRIES BUT US! Everybody else's is shorter
and/or thinner.
- pipe-thread seal tape
- service sticker
- instructions
This replaces
the anode that came with your tank. Fits all brands. Full length
is 48 inches, but can be cut, or segments broken off, to fit shorter
water heaters
|
|
What
Does It Do?
|
- The anode will keep your tank from rusting and breaking, while
reducing or eliminating 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.
- The tape will enable you to remove the anode in future to
check it.
- The sticker will help you remember when you installed it.

Tools
Needed
|
|
Pipe wrench.
For further details, check out the Tools
page and Know-How.
A Warning
If you buy
one of these, don't play with it. These are regular anodes that
have been milled down to the core wire on a lathe. That wire can
be bent and straightened about three times, then it snaps.

Important:
Before You Order
|
|
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.
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!
Contact mail@waterheaterrescue.com
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.

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. If it has been immersed in water,
it cannot be returned. The same is true if you bend and straighten
any of the links, so don't do that unless you know you can install
the rod. |
