Water Heater Anode Rods

Winterizing the Trailer


  Water Heater Anode Rods

Anode Rods are removable using a 1-1/16" socket


 

Replacement of the anode rod is recommended when consumption or weight loss is greater than 75%. The sacrificial anode equalizes aggressive water action providing cathodic protection for the water tank. The anode is a very important factor in tank life and should only be removed for inspection or draining.

 

OPERATING THE WATER HEATER WITHOUT THE ANODE ROD VOIDS SUBURBAN’S LIMITED WARRANTY.
