Only use on hard water
This product works exactly as advertised, and is very easy to install for someone who has never worked with water heaters before. HOWEVER, be aware that if your house has a water softener, this product will react with the soft water and create a rotten egg smell. ONLY use this product if you are without a water softener.

Remove Sulphur Smell & good instructions
I noticed a sulfur smell in the water line. Upon removing the old anode rod with a breaker bar, it was encased with calcium carbonate. After two weeks time with the new zinc/alum rod installed, the smell is gone and hopefully handling the Hard Water I have in the tank.

Fits My Whirlpool Water Heater
I have a 50 Gallon Whirlpool Water Heater (electric) This Anode rod, fits perfectly. The instructions on the box are very clear and easy to understand when replacing your Anode Rod! If you are wondering the life span on Anode rods is typically 3 to 5 years, depending on the type of water you have running into your home! Anode rods may have to be replaced sooner than the given life expectancy. I had to use a impact gun to remove my old Anode rod! It was really in there and I only drained if 2 gallons from the tank, Had a breaker bar and a helper bar and that rod would not turn, was just really in there. Thankfully I had the impact gun. I would recommend you use an impact gun, I have a craftsman cordless impact gun and that did the trick, but I recommend that when you use an impact gun of anytime, go very slowly with it, hit it with the gun on a few burst, and it will take it out, you want to be careful not to cross thread or damage your threads in your tank, or you will most likely be buying a new water heater. Overall, I give this product 5 stars, its easy to install, the instructions are very helpful and clear in understanding the procedure.

Cures 'Smelly' well water.....
If you have a water well with a lot of iron and it smells this is the only way to fix it....you need a aluminum /zinc anode rod to counter the interaction of the water with the heating element. The standard water heater aluminum or magnesium rods won't do the job, you need a zinc/ aluminum rod to get rid of the oder. Also they may need to be removed and cleaned off about every 4 to 6 weeks if the problem is severe so I recommend keeping a replacement to insert after removing an older rod so as to not interrupt you hot water service and allow time to clean the removed rod.

Fixed my "rotten egg" smell. Great for heater in tight space.
Perfect for "rotten egg" smell and water heaters that don't have a lot of space above them: I live in the country and have well water. Replaced my water heater recently due to an electrical be issue. After I installed new heater, hot water developed "rotten egg" smell. Classic for well water and standard magnesium anode rod. This is how I used this product in my 40 gallon electric water heater. I'm not a professional nor do I claim to be. Follow this advice at your own risk. I'm just a home owner that replaced it myself. Turn off power at the breakers, valve for inlet water, then drain about 3 gallons of water out of the heater prior to work. Drain my using opening the valve at the bottom of the heater and opening the purge valve located close to the top. You'll want to have a standard garden hose connected to the drain valve or something to catch the water with. You want to keep most the water in the heater for weight as the original anode rod is very tough to remove. Find the plastic cap on top of the water heater labeled anode (check your owners manual for location of not labeled). Remove cap and save. Next, you'll need a knife to remove the couple inches of foam insulation concealing the 1 1/16" bolt head to the rod. Starting along the edge, I pressed the knife down until it hit metal then cut along the circle hole. Try to remove foam in as whole of a piece as possible. Do not discard the foam "plug" you have cut out. Set aside foam and plastic cap for later. Now you have access to the rod. You'll need a 1 1/16" deep socket and a breaker bar or impact. I attempted this with a breaker bar and still couldn't get it to break free without the water heater moving. I tried with all my might. (I'm in my 30s and 6'2 - 250 lbs). Ended up using a 18v milwaukee impact. Worked like a charm. I highly recommend. Once free, remove the anode rod. I had to use needle nose pliers to grab it as it was a few inches below the top of the heater and couldn't get my fingers in there to reach it. If you do not have room to pull the rod out in one piece, you can cut it in sections as you remove it. I used vise grips to hold below where I was cutting so it wouldn't fall into the water heater. I can't stress enough to prevent this from happening. You cut the top off and the bottom falls in... You'll have fart water forever. I used a 18v milwaukee sawzall with bi-metal blade. If you don't want or don't have the means to cut the rod, you can do a second option. I don't recommend and didn't do this option as it makes you disconnect utilities you might not feel comfortable handling. (Second option)Drain most the remaining water out of the heater using the drain valve at the bottom. Not all. You do not want to expose the heating elements at the bottom of the heater. Detached the cold water inlet and hot water output plumbing from the heater. Have something handy to catch residual water in the lines. Disconnect the electrical wires coming in to the water heater. Make sure the power is off and that there is no voltage at the water heater prior to touching. Test with voltage tracer or meter. If you don't feel comfortable or capable, NO NOT TOUCH ELECTRICAL UNLESS YOU KNOW IT'S SAFE! Now you can lean the heater over near horizontal and pull the rod out in one piece. Remember to put back the heater in roughly the same location and orientation. Then reconnect the plumbing and electrical. This next step I did is optional but will remedy the smell in your water heater. Poor 16 oz of hydrogen peroxide for 40 gallon heater to cleanse the egg smell from your tank and plumbing. This ended the smell in my lines almost instantly. After removing the rod, clean any debris that may be in the hole or on the threads in the water heater. Get your new anode rod and put teflon tape on the threads for sealant. Install into water heater. Tighten with impact or breaker bar with 1 1/16" socket. I tightened with impact THEN the breaker bar for added measure. Remember that foam plug and plastic cap? Put the insulation back over the top of the anode rod and then seal back off with the plastic cap. Turn cold water inlet valve back on. Allow water to fill. Once full, turn power back on at breaker. Allow time to heat and let the peroxide work. After an hour, go to your furthest hot water spout and run it for a few minutes. Then run all the others for a few minutes. This isn't necessary but will help flush out all the smell out of the lines. You are done! Mine has been installed over a week and not even a hint of the smell has returned. Remember to change you anode rod every 2 to 3 years as it is a sacrificial rod and will dissolve away in tank. Good luck! Remember, if you don't feel comfortable, call a professional.

Odor eliminated
Purched the anode rod to try and eliminate the sulfur smell I got after installing a new electric water heater. Researched on line to find possible cause for odor after turning on heater for first time. Most stated to replace the magnesium rod with a aluminum and zinc alloy rod. New rod arrived quickly, as everyone said the original magnesium rod was a bite to get broke loose. With low head clearance I had to bend the original rod to remove it. The new rod being jointed went in with ease. It's been 3 weeks and no smell. This is on well water with a softener.
