Forgot the Anode

I was planning on checking the Anode and flushing the WH tank every year. Well it's been 2 years!

It was brand new fall of 2011. Still looked like new a year later with very little crud.

Well it looked like a cottage cheese factory when I pulled it out! I made a "cheesy" little flushing device.

I scraped off the crud and I think it looks good to go for another year.

Just added it to my calendar for next year so I won't forget.

    you do know to flush it just hook your water up and turn it on with the plug out


    There were big chunks and the hose did help get rid of them.
