unknown substance in HW tank
Yesterday I winterized my fifth. When I purged the HW tank I removed the anode and with the water out came a semi clear jelly like substance, what is it?

I've had that a few times too.
I notice the HW starts to stink so I pull the cork on the tank and flush it.
All kinds of that same gorp and schmoo pour out.
I shrug it off as a growth of some kind from all that hot water sitting a long time. I don't particularly like showering in it.....
But scrape some up and sprinkle it on your baked potatoes when you run short of sour cream! Yum! :B
