What's
Included
|
- a powered anode
- pipe-thread seal tape
- instructions
This replaces
the hex-head anode that came with your tank. Fits all brands with
3/4-inch ports, but can be used on tanks with one-inch ports using
a reducer bushing.

|
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. Manufacturer says
this product will last 50 years.
If
you have a vacation cabin where the water heater sits idle,
it may be that, no matter what anode you put in it, the water
will still smell bad. We don't want you to buy a powered
anode if it won't solve your problem. You might do better to replumb
your water heater to allow hydrogen peroxide to easily be added.
That WILL solve the problem. Click here

Tools
Needed
|
| Socket
wrench with 1 1/16-inch socket to remove old anode, adjustable wrench
to tighten new one, which has a 1 1/2-inch hex nut. For further
details, check out Know-How
on our sister site. |

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, check the location of the anode to see if
the power anode will get in the way of the power-vent housing.
It is possible
that the opening in the top of the tank will have to be enlarged
with snips to accommodate the hex nut, which is larger than that
of a sacrificial anode.
