<b>High Quality Anode Rod for RV Water Heater</b> <br><br> <b>Why do I need to replace the anode rod? </b> <br> When the anode rod is consumed, your tank will corrode faster. The water tank is in danger of leaking water and you are in danger of being hit! Inspect regularly, anode rod should be replaced annually or when the corrosion has eaten approximately 75% of the rod’s mass.<br> <br> <b>How does it work? </b> <br> Hot water increases the erosion of the iron tank caused by oxygen and water or other corrosive elements. If your water heater has an installed anode rod, the rod will be corroded instead of your tank. The principle of this reaction is that magnesium metal is more active than iron. <br> <br> <b>What is the difference between magnesium and aluminum anode rods?</b> <br> Magnesium rods are more active than aluminum or aluminum zinc rods. It means that magnesium rods will be corroded faster but work and protect better. <br><br> <b>Specification: </b> <br> <ul> <li>Brand: Diximus</li> <li>Anode length: 9.25” (235mm) </li> <li>Anode Material: Magnesium</li> <li>Thread: 3/4 inch NPT male</li> <li>Package Includes: <ul> <li>2 x Magnesium Anode Rods</li> <li>1 x roll of PTFE tape</li> </ul> </li> </ul> <br><br> <b>INSTALLATION INSTRUCTION:</b> <br><br> <b> STEP 1. Remove anode and drain water heater.</b> <br> Be sure to turn off water heater first.<br> Use the socket wrench to remove the anode rod, which also serves as a drain plug. <br><b> STEP 2. Rinse water heater.</b> <br> Attach the RV Heater rinse nozzle to your hose and use it to thoroughly rinse out the tank. <br> Allow tank to fill up a bit and let all the water flow out a few times.<br> <b> STEP 3. Replace new anode rode.</b> <br> Apply PTFE tape to the threads of the anode to ensure a good seal. <br> Replace and tighten securely with the socket wrench. <br><br> <b> Safety warning: </b> <br> To extend anode rod life, drain water from the tank whenever RV is not being used.
