Anode Rod servicing
A water heater anode rod is the most important safety
guard any storage tank has against corrosion and pre-
mature failure.
Inspecting the anode rod is therefore very important.
Sacrificial rods are designed to deteriorate overtime.
Most water heating industry professionals recommend
inspecting the anode about every 2 years.
Homes with salty or softened water supplies should
consider more frequent inspection. When in doubt con-
sult a local water heating professional.
