Refer to the water heater manufacturer’s manual for detailed lighting instructions.
Odor from the hot water system
Many water supplies contain sufficient amounts of sulfur to produce an odor, often called
“sulfur water.” Sulfur water can be caused by a chemical action or by bacteria. Generally,
sulfur water is not harmful, only unpleasant to smell. Refer to the water heater
manufacturer’s owner’s manual for details on eliminating the odor from sulfur water.
Odor from sulfur water is not a service problem.
Anode rod protection
The tank in the water heater is protected by a magnesium or aluminum anode to prolong
the life of the tank by absorbing the corrosive action of hot water. Under normal use, the
anode rod will deteriorate and because of this, the water heater manufacturer recommends
the anode rod be replaced yearly. Water with high levels of iron and/or sulfate will
increase the rate of deterioration; therefore, more frequent replacements may be required.
If an anode rod is mostly eaten away, replace it with a new one. The water heater
manufacturer recommends replacement of the anode rod when consumption or weight loss
is greater than 75 percent
.
Anode rod replacement chart
Operating the water heater without the proper anode rod protection will decrease
tank life and will void the tank manufacturer’s warranty on the tank. To extend the anode
life, drain the water from the water heater tank whenever the RV is not being used. Avoid
any extended time of non-use with water in the tank.
WARNING
Do not replace anode rod or any other component with an accessory part that is not
authorized by the water heater manufacturer, such as an “add-on electric heating
element. Such items are not approved to be installed and could create an unsafe
condition and will void all warranties
