I can confirm it had a 20 psi differential when it was first installed. I'm not sure when the drift occurred or how quickly it happened. It's held fairly stable at 37/52 over the last 3 months or so. The switch is sitting on a smaller diameter pipe, about 4" in length just at the T where it...

Thanks Reach! Any thoughts on why the pressure switch would have drifted so much after just one year?

Hi folks, I've run into two issues with my well system, and before I bring in the service guys I'd like to have as much information as possible. My home/well are both one year old. When I first moved in, my pressure switch was set to 40/60 psi on/off. However, over time I've noticed it is...

Hi Shawn, 1. I didn't know that! It was actually Rheem that told me the anode was replaceable (I called them up). I could understand them voiding the warranty if you removed the anode and didn't replace it. I'm not too concerned and at the end of the day I'd rather have no warranty and water...

I just wanted to give an update to close this thread (for future google searchers). I used a dremel tool to hack off the plastic grey plastic sleeve so that my socket would fit. I can confirm it was just a standard anode rod, so i have replaced it with a powered unit (Corro-Protec CP-R) and the...

That's what I though too. I think I could hack away at the plastic so that my socket will fit. But I'm hoping to confirm that is the anode, since I did find this link online that states the anode is not accessible on Rheem hot water heaters (page3)...

I recently moved into a new construction home with a Rheem hybrid hot water heater (PROPH50 T2 RH350 DC). Unfortunately, my hot water has developed that dreaded sulfur smell so I would like to try replacing the anode in this tank with a powered unit. The manual for the tank says there is an...
