anode rod

  1. thewaterengineer

    Can you run a water heater with the anode rod removed & port open?

    In theory, could you do this? Or would it affect the pressure in some way? Not suggesting this for home use, just trying to experiment with something and get an idea for how these work... Sorry if i did anything wrong making this post, I am a new user

    Worth it to replace anode?

    I've got a 50 gal Whirlpool electric water heater that has been running for 10 years pretty much untouched on city water with no softener.

    Reliance 606 Element Leaking

    Based on the various guides on this website, I'm probably looking at replacing my water heater. But this is a last ditch effort to do some DIY before calling a repair tech or dropping hundreds on a new tank. One month ago the lower element starting leaking rusty looking water.
