44'' Magnesium Anode Rod for Hot Water Heater Compatible with Rheem Reliance Richmond GE Tanks Flexible Three Quarter 3/4" NPT Thread 0.8'' Diameter Home Water Tank Anode Rod

Very easy to installand after two hours there was no more rotten egg smell in my hot water best thing i ever bought.

Could not belive the one I took out, be in April 2018 and have never changed one before,but woule like to tell everyone it is a good idea to change them

I’ve now installed my third water heater, as the previous two developed leaks just before the warranty expired. I'm not holding out much hope for this one, and we’ve also been dealing with our dishes smelling after every wash, despite having a new dishwasher and using city water. To address this, I decided to try a powered anode rod. These rods all operate on the same principle: a titanium rod powered by a small energy source that helps eliminate sulfur and rotten egg smells.Removing the old anode rod was straightforward—if you have an impact tool to break it loose, then switch to a ratchet. Be cautious with the impact tool to avoid increase of rotational motion, which could be problematic if the rod is heavily worn or corroded... just a fyi.Installing the powered rod was simple: just plug it in and forget about it. But b4 doing that, I wanted to perform a few checks. Out of the box, I measured 3 volts between the metal casing and the titanium rod. I noticed that when I plugged in the transformer, the LED was lit even before connecting it to the rod. What I would of liked to have seen is the LED light up ONLY when rod was plugged in indicating the rod is functional and drawing minimal current. Just not knowing how reliable this product is, I guess only way to check is remove the rod and measure voltage every 6 months/yr/2yrs...Cheers

seems to be good quality. no issues, a few wraps of teflon tape, no leaks. we'll see how long it lasts.

The water from my new water heater REALLY STUNK! Hard water (lots of iron), a water softener (lots of salt) and heat makes for a rotten egg smell. Removed the old (new actually as the water heater was only a couple of weeks old) installed the new powered anode, drained and refilled the water heater (did not need to), but I really wanted to get rid of the old smelly water. Plugged the new anode in - and no odor! It's been a couple of weeks now and it WORKS GREAT!!!

bought a few times already. My water heater with 6yr warranty is now about 15 years old.

The Aluminum anodes are ok, but Magnesium are better.

I ordered this in August 2023. March 2024, I removed my old anode from my hot water tank and installed the new anode. After I turned my water back on to my hot water tank and checked for leaks, I noticed water coming out of the top of the new anode. It was where the company had drilled a hole in the 3/4 inch plug to run the cable through for the anodes. The area was supposed to be welded or brazed to seal the hole, but they didn't do a good enough job. Cheap product.
