country water / anode / Suburban / smelly water ?'n

Data in = data out. Crappy data in = crappy data out. Crappy water in = crappy water out. Changing the anode rod, switching from magnesium to aluminum or zinc, or not using one at all, is going to make little difference at all when it's the water that's the source of the problem. :R Obviously, it's not the answer you want to hear but just as obvious it is the answer - better water in. :W
