Powered Anode Rod for Water Heater, 20-Year Warranty, Eliminates Rotten Egg/Sulfur Smell within 24 hours, Stops Corrosion and Reduces Limescale, Electrical Anode Rod Made of Titanium

I don’t EVER write reviews! That being said I buy a lot of things oof of Amazon like anyone else reading this post. But I have to say that this is a must buy and honestly it worth every penny and so much more.We bought a Barn with a well that is about 100yrs old. We have treated our rotten egg smell with all of the chemicals and several hundred dollars later I was told I couldn’t get rid of it with out buying a 2k water filtration system. WRONG.After 8 hours of this thing being installed, zero egg smell (it was bad bad)! Honestly I feel as if it has improved our water quality to.If you are in the fence, pull the trigger. Install was easy!

Just finished installing, will update after a week or so of use.Have a 3 year old Rheem water heater that I flushed annually in the Phoenix, Arizona (AZ) ( for the tags folks), area. Shoulda done this at year 2 as you can see the old anode rod is completely gone.Anyway, was contemplating on getting a $25 replacement rod, but stumbled upon this. About 7x the price, but less hassle annually since I wouldn't have to flush the water heater nor replace the rod every 2 years at this rate.Hardest part was the install. I used an impact drill but it wouldn't break the old rod initially. Looking at the specs of my drill, it was 240lb/ft of torque, and others have said a 400lb/ft+ impact drill would have to do it. I kept at it though, and it finally broke free.Used a ratchet/wrench to tighten the Corro Protec and bam, install pretty much done.Just hoping I replaced the old rod in time so this tank will last me 20yrs.I guess if you're planning on moving the next few years, a standard replacement anode rod would do. But those of you with a forever home or forever rate, this is great.

I heard of Corro-Protect via word of mouth from my neighbor. Then I started researching it and realized my 12-year old water heater has never had its anode rod replaced. Took about a week of planning/prep and literally 30 minutes to install. A person who has everything ready to go and doesn't need to upgrade their electrical could probably do this in a single afternoon.• I had to swap out a single outlet for a double outlet that was eight feet away from the water heater to support the AC adapter. The adapter comes with 12' of cord which was more than plenty.• My local hardware store where I got the outlet upgrades had the sockets I needed so I just purchased those at the same time. Twenty seven bucks total vs. the cost of the "install kit" Corro sells. I wanted the added deep socket and impact rating as well. Definitely NOT saying the Corro kit isn't useful-- I just wanted slightly better sockets.• The AC adapter light is SUPER bright.... I'm glad the outlet is up in the I-joist (was originally installed to support the soft water unit timer) where I don't have to see that every time I'm in the basement. Very easy to check on the status of it, though.• As can be seen in the photo, after 12 years of use my Rheem 40-gal unit's anode rode was completely gone. Who knows when that actually fully dissolved. Probably a while ago.• I DID use a 1/2" pneumatic impact gun to get the old anode out. I didn't even bother trying with a breaker bar. Fortunately I didn't need to use any break-through chemicals or anything like that, and after watching/reading soooo many testimonials about how hard it is to get the old/factory anodes out I was really worried. Didn't take more than a few moments at all and it came loose.• The Corro anode I installed per instructions (along with teflon tape) and tightened back in with a 12" ratchet (NOT the impact gun) until it I couldn't get any further tightening leverage on it with the ratchet. Been five days so far and zero leaks.Overall it seems like a great item, and I hope it gets me another 12 years out of this water heater.

I had a plastic tank water heater for 20 years and couldn't figure out the Sulphur smell. After researching it I nailed it down to the anode rod. I saw some reviews on the aluminum one that it was not a guarantee to eliminate the odor so I decided on this one. Installed it at 8pm and the odor was gone by the time I took a 6 am shower! Freaking awesome! Fit tight and was an easy 5 minute install. Took me longer to remove the foam where the lazy water heater manufacture didn't protect the original anode rod.

No more sulfer smell from my well water. I used an aerator on the well first and that helped a lot but with the hot water I was still getting a bit of smell. This knocked it right out and installation was not hard at all. Well getting the old anode out of the water heater was not easy, took A LOT of torque to get that out and I could not imagine if I had an older water heater what it would have been like. Installing the new one was cake and after 24 hours my water had no smell on the hot water at all.
