ASTM Aluminum Anode Rod For Water Heater Boiler Water Tank Heating Tank

If you experience rotten egg odor coming out from the hot water tap, which is the most common complaint associated with the anode; one solution to reduce the smell is to install a zinc anode rod. This might be a good solution when replacing already depleted one as it never comes as factory installed.

Zinc anodes are actually aluminum rods with a small portion of zinc. The proportion is 1:10, and zinc is added to fight the sulfur (rotten egg) smell from the water.

If using chlorination procedure to eliminate various bacteria that are causing the odor, remove the rod and bring it back when done.

Note: Removal of sacrificial anode, for any reason will void the warranty and affect the tank longevity.

For extremely hard water and where conductivity is high, an aluminum zinc anode rod might be a solution.

If you live in the area where the water supply has a high PH (8+), water condition will react with the aluminum anode rod and form the excessive amounts of aluminum hydroxide. Gel like substance will then reside on the rod and bottom of the tank making the above described noise.
