The Sacrificial Anode

Hidden inside your water heater tank is a critical component call the Sacrificial Anode.  This small but useful device helps to protect your water heater from corrosion.  The chemicals in your water would rather attack the anode then the exposed steel in your tank.  For best water heater performance, your anode is designed to be replaced every several years.  If you’ve never changed out your Sacrificial Anode then now is the time.
