Why Your Water Heater Needs an Anode Rod
The anode rod is a crucial component of your water heater, safeguarding the tank from rust and corrosion.
Made from magnesium or aluminum, the rod attracts minerals that would otherwise harm the tank lining. Over time, the rod deteriorates, leaving the tank vulnerable to damage once it’s depleted.
Benefits of Replacing Your Anode Rod:
– Extends the lifespan of your water heater
– Prevents rust and unpleasant odors
– Saves money on expensive repairs
– Keeps your hot water clean and safe
If it’s been 3-5 years since your last inspection, it’s time to check or replace the anode rod.
