kroghvilleExplorerMay 16, 2014Anode rodI'm thinking it's time to replace the anode rod in my water heater. Which is the best to use, Aluminum or Magnesium? Thanks,
bob213ExplorerMay 16, 2014Depends on your water source. Magnesium dissolves faster in high mineral water and may give off a sulfur smell. Aluminum will last longer in this situation. If you use a good water source (low in minerals) then the magnesium should work fine.
