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

True enough. I have no issue with needing to drain it from time to time, and down here in SC getting a frozen wh is the least of my concerns. What I don’t like most is, this is the first wh I’ve owned that will spew water out of the relief valve. Yeah Yeah, I’ve tried all of the published remedies, and from time to time I’ll go a few heat cycles without it dripping. The manual says it is normal for an RV wh to drip when the air pocket is lost. My take is if they know what causes it, then they can design a solution. They just choose not to. End of rant
There is a fix for that- simply remove the upper dip tube from the outlet, this gives a much larger air cushion, at the expense of about a half gallon of capacity. Alternatively, you can remove and shorten the dip tube and reinstall.
