DOES YOUR WATER STINK LIKE ROTTEN EGGS? If your water smells like sulfur / rotten eggs, it could be caused by sulfur bacteria reacting with your water heater tank’s standard magnesium anode rod. This reaction results in hydrogen sulfide gas which, aside from causing that annoying and embarrassing odor, can corrode your home’s plumbing pipes and prematurely kill your water heater. WE HAVE THE SOLUTION TO YOUR SMELLY WATER PROBLEM By replacing your heater’s old magnesium anode with one made of an aluminum-zinc (AlZn) alloy, you will put an end to the reaction – and the smell. This hot water outlet anode has a 3” nipple (longer than the other guys) and is a 48” long continuous anode rod, making it a direct replacement for the “solid” anode your tank shipped with. Flexible/segmented version also available. NOTE: If a water softener is in use, we recommend using a powered “anode” like the Corro-Protec (ASIN B01H459TAK) or the Ceranode (ASIN B01KIMC91W).

Sacrificial anode rod for water heater tank made from aluminum-zinc alloy cures rotten egg (sulfur) smell in hot water.
Standard 3/4" NPT x 3" nipple fitting replaces existing water heater tank outlet anode rod.
Eliminates rotten egg smell in hot water caused by hydrogen sulfide gas (H2S) and extends service life of water heater tank.
48-inch long solid/continuous anode; can be cut to length to fit different size heaters.
Not recommended when water softener is in use (use a powered anode/cathode instead).
