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?
Forum Discussion
The gel like substance is a result of the minerals in the water reacting with the aluminum anode rod........aluminum hydroxide jelly forming.
Drain/Rinse/flush
Change anode rod when 75% has been 'consumed' (rod is sacrificial and dissolves)
Look at end of anode rod......
