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. ...

Suburban OEM anode rods are magnesium. Magnesium deteriorates quicker than aluminum.
I have never pay any attention to the material of the rod. When I was camping at many different camp grounds, the rod would only last a year or so of full timing. Now I am camping FT at my son's home and I check the rod every spring. I noticed that it has lasted about 4 years and has a few more years to go. At first I thought it was the water. This year I noticed it had AL marked on the end. So I assume it is because it is Aluminum. I hope it is doing its job . . . :h
