What's
Included
|
- a segmented, hex-head aluminum/zinc anode rod (about 12 inches
of overhead clearance needed)
- pipe-thread seal tape
- service sticker
- instructions
This replaces
the anode that came with your tank. Fits all brands.
|
|
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
|
|
Socket wrench
and 1 1/16-inch socket or impact wrench. For further details,
check out Know-How
at our sister site.
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 hex-head
rod in your tank and not a combo anode.
If you soften
your water, you may want to consider a power anode, as sometimes
aluminum/zinc anodes fail to solve the odor problem.
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!
