hot water heater question.
Re: removal and especially reinsertion of the hot water plug is very difficult due to a long apparatus connected to the insertion nut. Is there any way to limit calcification of the nut to make it ...

The rod itself is suppose to protect your tank, so make sure you always use the plug with the rod. The calcium build up is something that will just happen, like rust build up also. The only solution I've found for my (rust) is to remove the plug often drain the water and then put the plug back in. Don't leave the plug out. If you don't keep the plug in, calcium and rust will build up on the threads where then plug screws in and then, yes, it's almost impossible to get the plug back in. Draining often (removing the plug) and then putting it back in right away will always break up any build up that may start. If you have lime build-up on the outside of the tank, the water is leaking through the threads. It might be time for a new adode rod (plug).
