Changed anode out yesterday.
Thanks for all the help.
And don't lose your tank flusher thing like I did (temporally I hope). I picked up another but the only replacement CW had was ($6.50) for one with a pex tube instead of a metal tube like my old one. Pex tube tries to lift up and get away with water pressure.
I made one of my own. Simple to do if you have some "junk" stuff around your house, (like I do) ... I don't throw anything away.
I had a water hose used for a washing machine. I simply cut it in half and attach to my garden hose. The outside diameter of hose is smaller than the diameter of the anode rod hole. Works perfect as a flusher, fits right in there.
(I also use it to fill my yard roller I tow behind my lawn mower).
BUT ... Somewhere I've missplaced it. Wanted to fill the yard roller and now can't find it after all winter. I suppose it's time to simply find the other half of that hose I cut and use it ... now where did I put that too?
