Water heater anode rod change frequency
I understand that you are suppose to change your WH anode rod every year under normal circumstances. I learned that lesson the hard way. Ever since, I've put nothing but softened water into my tan...

Check the condition of anode rod twice a year..replace as needed (when 75% has been consumed)
There is NO schedule that can be followed other than a visual schedule.
Water softener can increase rate that anode rod dissolves.
Should be draining/flushing water heater at least twice a year regardless.
The softened water increases the rate the anode rod dissolves? I thought it pulled minerals from the water, which the softener removed before hand. Is that wrong?
