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.
