Description

Corro-Protec’s titanium powered anode rod is designed to last 20+ years and provides continuous protection, unlike magnesium and aluminum anode rods that depletes over time. Corro-Protec requires no maintenance & its 12-inch design makes replacement easier in tight spaces, unlike sacrificial anodes. Corro-Protec helps solve some of the most common hot water issues linked to sulfur smell, tank corrosion, sediment and scale buildup, and air in hot water lines. Learn why powered anode rods are ideal for all water hardness levels, water qualities and water sources. Swipe through the images to see the 4 key benefits and how Corro-Protec’s powered anode rod helps protect your water heater, reduce maintenance and support long-term performance. Use Corro-Protec to get rid of sulfur smell in hot water, no matter the cause, including your water heater, its existing anode, SRB or well water. Corro-Protec is a reliable, cost-effective and time-efficient solution to a persistent problem, requiring no maintenance or chemicals like hydrogen peroxide. If cold water smells too, it will keep hot water from smelling worse than cold, which is already a meaningful benefit since sulfur odor is often noticed first in hot water. Corro-Protec protects internal welds and weak points from corrosion to help prevent water heater leaks and extend water heater lifespan. Unlike magnesium, aluminum or aluminum-zinc anode rods that wear out over time, Corro-Protec’s titanium powered anode rod delivers reliable long-term protection in soft, hard and softened water. Powered anode rod technology is trusted by corrosion specialists and used in a variety of industries, including pipelines, municipal water networks and more. Corro-Protec helps reduce limescale and sediment buildup caused by hard water minerals, helping keep your water heater cleaner and energy efficient over time. By limiting buildup and scaling inside the tank, it reduces energy loss and supports long-term performance. Average annual water heating energy savings in the United States are US$40 per year. Scale can also contribute to costly problems and repairs in water pipes and heating systems. Air bubbles, cloudy water and sputtering in hot water lines can be signs of corrosion inside your water heater. Corro-Protec stops ongoing corrosion at the source, effectively reducing hydrogen release that can cause air in lines and cloudy hot water. It helps maintain smoother, more consistent hot water flow without bubbles or hissing at the tap. While factory-installed magnesium anodes can produce hydrogen and contribute to the issue, Corro-Protec stops this reaction inside the tank. Say goodbye to water heater anode rod replacement, even in hard or softened water. Because tank manufacturers require anode rod inspection and replacement for continued tank protection and performance, Corro-Protec helps reduce upkeep while supporting long-term energy efficiency and reducing the need for tank flushing by limiting buildup. Water heating accounts for nearly one-fifth of home energy use in the U.S. Corro-Protec helps save an average of US$40 per year in water heating energy costs. This is the standard Corro-Protec model for most water heaters. It fits dedicated anode port installation, which is the setup used by most tanks. The box includes the powered anode rod and power supply for this standard installation. This is our alternative Corro-Protec model for hot water outlet installation. Almost all Bradford White tanks require this installation type. The box includes the powered anode rod, power supply and wye-piece for this setup. Corro-Protec works with all major water heater brands and virtually all water heater types containing an anode rod. Learn why powered anode rods perform well in city and well water, plus water treatment systems such as water softeners. Swipe through the images to discover the 5 key compatibility points, including the 2 model options for dedicated anode port installation (the standard installation) and hot water outlet installation (the alternative installation, standard for Bradford White). Most water heaters use a dedicated anode port, making this the standard Corro-Protec model most people need. It works with major brands such as A.O. Smith (97% of tanks), Rheem (100% of tanks), Whirlpool, GE, State, Ruud & more. Because manufacturers often require anode rod inspection & replacement every 1 to 3 years, this powered anode rod is a simple long-term upgrade for most tanks. Bradford White tanks are the exception, as they usually require hot water outlet installation (see next image). Some water heaters use the hot water outlet instead of a dedicated anode port. This specific Corro-Protec model also includes a wye-piece, is made for that installation & fits almost all Bradford White tanks, plus AO Smith GPCC-40L, GPCC-50X, GUF-40 & HPCX models. The Bradford White models below can use our dedicated anode port model: RE250T6, RE255T6, RE130L6, RE230LN6, RE240LN6, RE250L6, LE255T3-3, LE120L3-3, LE230LN3-3, LE240LN3-3, LE250LN3-3, RE2H50S10-CON, RE2H656T10-CON & RE2280T10-CON. Corro-Protec works with virtually all tank water heaters containing an anode rod, including electric, gas, hybrid, heat pump, solar and geothermal models. As you may have read in your water heater owner’s manual, manufacturers require regular anode inspection and replacement when needed. This includes A.O. Smith (first 6 months, then at least annually), Rheem (annually) and Bradford White (every 2 years). That is why upgrading to a Corro-Protec powered anode rod is a smart long-term solution. Corro-Protec is compatible with all water treatment systems, including water softeners (salt- or phosphate-based), reverse osmosis and whole-house filtration systems. Note that softened water can make sacrificial anodes wear out faster, increasing inspection and replacement frequency. A.O. Smith, Bradford White & Whirlpool mention this directly in their manuals. Corro-Protec is a durable solution for water heaters connected to water softeners, long-term tank protection and sulfur smell removal. Corro-Protec’s powered anode rod performs well in all water types and qualities, including city water, well water, hard water, soft water and softened water. If you want reliable protection across different water qualities & sources, Corro-Protec is designed to perform where magnesium and aluminum anodes wear out. Corro-Protec automatically adjusts its current to provide optimal corrosion protection in all water qualities, including stopping SRB growth, often linked to sulfur smell in hot water. 40 to 89 Gal.

    • Worth every dime.

This product did exactly what it claimed it would do. It took the horrible “rotten egg” smell out of the water coming into the house from our well. I highly recommend this device. Easy to install, great product.

    • Great powered anode!!
Size: 40-89 Gallon Tank Number of Items: 1
So far, we are extremely pleased with this powered anode rod! We built a shop, attached to our barn for my wife’s little business. We supplied water to it from the well that provides water to our house. We split the water off to the shop right after the pressure tank, before it went through any house filtration. The shop has its own filter system, water softener, and water heater. Her shop has been in operation for about a year and a half. Within a month of opening the shop, we started getting the sulfur/rotten egg smell from the water heater. I had to flush the water heater, and treat it with a light bleach solution frequently, to try to keep the sulfur smell down. I changed out the original anode rod after about a month for one designed to help control that sulfur smell, but it did absolutely nothing to help. Each time I flushed out the water heater and treated it, within a few days, the sulfur smell was back. If I didn’t treat it frequently, it would be so bad that when she ran the hot water in the shop, the entire shop would just stink of sulfur. This went on for nearly a year. I was doing some research on how to best control sulfur smell from water heaters with well water, and found that people have had a lot of good luck with powered anodes. After doing quite a bit of research on which ones were among the best, and priced right, I found Corro-Protec. Even so, I thought the price made it a bit risky, if it didn’t work. Nevertheless, tired of doing what I was doing to try to control it, with almost ZERO luck, I purchased this anode rod. It’s been installed for nearly a week, and no Sulphur smell at all! At first, there was a bit of a metallic like smell, but that has dissipated. Now it’s just clean smelling hot water! Couldn’t be happier! Hopefully this trend continues, and we have finally beaten, the sulfur smell! Straight forward, easy installation, and we were fortunate to have an outlet close. I will update this review if things change, but for now, we are extremely happy! ... show more

Probably the most effective product I have ever purchased. Have well water and the sulfer smell from the hot water was so bad my kids didnt want to shower. Install was easy (after getting old rod out) and took a shower the next morning and the smell was completely gone. I honestly was not expecting it to be so effective.

Review Image by Raak
Ok so we moved to a new house with septic and well water, which I have never had before. The previous owner got septic cleaned one day before handing us the house. First day, we noticed a fowl smell in the sink, a friend who has well and septic said it might be coming from septic since they just cleaned it, give it a few days. I did, nothing changed. Then I decided to call a well company to come check the water, now sadly we didn't have a water filter in our basement, just a water softner system. So the well company said smell might be from bacteria in the system, you need filters, reverse osmosis preferably, but if not, at least a nano filter 0.01 microns to filter out the bacteria. Sounded convincing, but from the 2 quotes we got, one was 16,000 for a rolls Royce of water filters, and one was 9000 for the nano, we settled for that and got it done and also got a bigger water softner. They bleached the system before installing so they could kill all bacteria in pipe lines. Took 8 hours, installed everything and went, smell immediately went away, only to return after 2 to 3 days. Can't explain the feeling. I have to admit that when I smelled the water on first day, I googled it and found that hot water heater has sacrificial anode rods and they go bad and I could either replace it with another 30 buck rod, or get titanium which last long and costs 80 bucks OR get corro-protec and I also watched the installation video, so I kind of knew I need to do this but was waiting for a professional to tell me that, which didn't happen. The well company sold me filter and all, and then when smell came back, they said I need a chlorone injector for my filter (another 2500 bucks). I said NO. Because i don't want chlorine in my drinking water if possible. Then I looked for a plumber who could replace my anode rod in water heater with corro-protec. Found one and they said they can come next morning OR a week later, so I quickly searched and found same day delivery on Amazon. So I i gave them a go ahead for next morning. Next morning plumber comes and inspected the smell and said that's not coming from water heater, if you have a well, it's coming from there. (Another expert not telling me to install this). I said to him, I spoke to your company and they sent you here to replace the anode rod and flush my system ($700 BTW), so do it. He said I am trying to save you money, this will not solve your problem. I said I don't want to save money and am not asking your opinion, please replace this if you can, otherwise I'll look for someone else. Can you imagine the dilemma? This is me, with my google research, after spending 9000 dollars on a well water filteration system telling another expert that I want you to charge me the 700 bucks even if it doesn't help. Well he flushed the water heater, took out the anode rod (check the picture of how yuck it looks), and installed corro-protec. It took about an hour for the water to heat up but when I opened the faucets the smell was gone. Zero sulphur smell. I wanted to make sure I wait a few days before I do my happy dance and post this review. It's been over a week and it is working like a charm. It still sucks that no experts recommend this product, but end of the day, here's a reason for us to take so much time to post reviews. I am pretty handy but I didn't want to mess with my 17 year old hot water heater and mess up something big time so decided to use a professional company. Best money spent. Highly recommend this product for those with similar use cases. Good luck ... show more

    • Corro-Protec BLASTS AWAY SULFUR SMELL!. IT REALLY WORKS!
Size: 40-89 Gallon Tank Number of Items: 1
THIS PRODUCT REALLY WORKS!!!. Before Corro-Protec, my water had an awful rotten egg/sulfur smell *yes i have well water and a softener*. I was doubtful that this device would do anything at all. Instead of draining my entire water heater, i just drained out about a gallon. Just enough to not make a mess when removing the old anode rod. I installed Corro-Protec and noticed a slight difference in a few hours. In the morning even more difference. It is now a few days later and the smell IS GONE!!!. Highly recommend this product for anyone with well water that smells bad. ... show more
