Suburban Water heater
Hello, I how do I drain the water out of the water heater without the Anode rod shooting 10 feet across the driveway and water gushing out 100 mph ? I drained it twice, and both times the anode...

OK,
the water was in the heater for about 3 years .. the Anode was completely gone ..
I ordered a new anode today ..
How much damage do you think I did to the water heater ? How much is a new one installed ? not a fancy one, just a plane jane ?
It's pitted.........
If it was gone (depleted entirely), I'm sure the tank inside is pitted, how bad is a carpshoot. If it don't start leaking all good, If it starts leaking, not good, time to replace it. No way to arrest or reverse the tank corrosion now but you can slow it by using a genuine Suburban anode rod.
DO NOT GET AN ALUMINUM ANODE ROD. get a Suburban genuine magnesum anode rod. Amazon has them for I think, 12 bucks.
