Anode Rod
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. ...

Thanks for the replies. The pop up is "new to us" so I'm not sure of the rod's previous usage/age, but I'm just going to assume it's the original. We took a local trip, working out some known kinks, but hadn't used the water system yet. I'm going through a laundry list of things now, getting it ready for our next trip. I'm ordering a bunch of stuff anyway, so I'll probably go ahead and replace it.
2007 pop up........that is probably last seasons anode rod.
With anode rod out, turn on water supply and let it blow out WH drain hole...helps get the crud out of bottom of WH tank.
You can also buy a wand for end of garden hose and then stick it inside and rinse WH.
Good luck with rest of 'check out'-----popups are fun
