All the water heater talk had me out inspecting mine today. I've never changed out an anode before. Is this typical of a worn rod? A good deal of white sediment came shooting out when I drained it. ...
That looks about half worn and replacement wouldn't be out of line. I cant speak to the material type to choose....I just went to my dealer and got an anode rod for my suburban HW tank. Didn't even look what it was made of, I assume Suburban did all the thinking for me. Not a bad idea to remove/inspect the anode and flush the tank on a routine basis.
