Aluminum Zinc Water Heater Anode Rod; Hex Head; 3/4 NPT x 44-inch; Stops Sulfur/Rotten Egg Smell (Solid)
Brand: The Water Connection

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 hex head anode anode is a 44” long continuous 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).
