Smelly Hot Water w/ Powered Anode Rod

[davidi]

Did you ever say what kind of water heater you have? Gas fired or electric?

I don't believe I did...I have this one: https://www.hotwater.com/water-heat...ine-power-vent-gas-tank-water-heater-gpvt-50/

What's the update on this situation? Did you solve the problem? What's any rod you removed look like? Pictures?

What about OIL heater which is very common in NY as it heats water a lot faster then natural gas or electric

I never did solve it. I'm still using the powered anode rod. I might just go back to a regular aluminum/zinc anode rod when I do my next water heater flush. No issues with water smell when I used those.

Never heard of an OIL water heater. This water heater is only a few years old, not looking to replace it anytime soon.
