  The powered anode consists of a transformer, galvanized steel hex plug and weighted, insulated electric lead (wire and gray cylinder) that is suspended inside the water heater.
 
What's included
  • a powered anode
  • pipe-thread seal tape
  • instructions

This replaces the anode that came with your tank. Fits all brands of all sizes with a hex-head anode in its own port.

What does it do?
  • The anode will keep your tank from rusting and breaking, while alleviating 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.
Tools needed
Socket wrench with 1 1/16-inch socket to remove old anode, adjustable wrench to tighten new one, which has a1 1/2-inch hex nut. For further details, check out the Tools page and Know-how.
 
Important: Before you order

This anode must replace the one that came with the tank or the smell won't go away. If your tank has two anodes, the second one must also be removed.

If you have a power vent heater, the power connector will stick up two inches above the top of the tank and may prevent reinstallation of the vent housing.
