General Information continued-
A sacrificial anode is used to extend tank life. Removal of this anode, for any
reason, will nullify the warranty. In areas where water is unusually active, an
odor may occur at the hot water faucet due to a reaction between the
sacrificial anode and impurities in the water. If this should happen, an
alternative anode may be purchased from the supplier that installed this
water heater. This will minimize the odor while protecting the tank.
Additionally, the water heater should be flushed with appropriate dissolvers
to eliminate any bacteria.
