Is it time to change you water heater anode?
This is one of those preventative maintenance chores that like changing batteries in your smoke detectors, that can easily be overlooked. If you can't remember when it was last changed or simply don't...

Mine takes a 1 and 1/16 inch socket. I have a dedicated socket and socket wrench just for the anode rod in my camper. Mine is now over 4 years old and still the original that came with the trailer. I remove (almost) after every trip and drain the water, so mine gets checked quite often.
When I winterized last November, and then again in December on our return from South Carolina in 5 below zero weather, I flushed the tank. When you drain often and flush often, you don't get that white flakey build up from the anode rod deterioration because it gets flushed out often.
