water heater anode rod
How often should I replace the water heater anode rod and are they pretty much all the same when it comes to purchasing one? Thanks

Atwood water heaters used to be aluminum, not SS.
Are they indeed SS now?
NO.....
Atwood WH Tanks were and still are ALUMINUM tanks with a zinc cladding
NO Stainless Steel used.
Suburban uses regular old carbon steel hence the need for the glass-lining AND anode rod
Just like the residential WH Tanks
Rarely does any one change the anode rod in residential WHs
Many don't know about them
Many forget/don't care
Besides......get a new one before warranty expires (5, 10, 12 years etc)
