Anode Rod Inspection
The anode rod is used to protect the tank from corrosion. Most
hot water tanks are equipped with an anode rod. The submerged
rod deteriorates to protect the tank. Instead of corroding the tank,
water ions attack and eat away the anode rod. This does not effect
the water’s taste or color. The rod must be maintained to keep the
tank in operating condition.
Anode deterioration depends on water conductivity, not
Anode deterioration depends on water conductivity, not
necessarily water condition. A corroded or pitted anode rod indicates
high water conductivity and should be checked and/or replaced more
often than an anode rod that appears to be intact. Replacement of
the depleted anode rod can extend the life of your water heater.
Inspection should be conducted by calling the Sears Service Center
for an authorized contractor. At a minimum, the anode(s) should
be checked annually after the warranty period.
