Anode Rod Replacement in Portola Valley, CA

The magnesium anode rod sacrifices itself to prevent steel tank corrosion. Melvin's Water Heater Service removes the old rod through the top port when it is less than half its original diameter. A new rod is wrapped with Teflon tape and torqued to manufacturer specs. Some models use a powered anode that requires a small electrical connection. One paragraph notes the difference between magnesium and aluminum rods for odor issues.
Replacement adds years to tank life before leaks develop. Call (833) 774-1697.
