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...

Magnesium is OEM.......it reacts the quickest to water chemistry and is a better conductor of electrical current (which is the reason it is a great sacrificial rod)
Aluminum will last longer but can accumulate deposits on the rod which can make it harder to remove.
If an anode rod has lasted 4 yrs. I would be concerned how well it was providing corrosion protection...it is suppose to deteriorate vs the steel tank Suburban uses.
