I remember once my brother worked on his plumbing for two days because he didn't realize you could replace the stem packing on a valve. I wish he had asked me about it.

My apologies, it was Eric that mentioned the hose bib. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it is very long time wise between a worn out cathode and the tank leaking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJkizak Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 I might add that the anode is screwed onto the tank so hard that I needed a 1/2" electric powered roto-hammer tool and special socket to remove it. Those people want you to purchase a new tank, not an anode. All the plumbers that I talked to say the warranty matches the life of the anode.

Dead on accurate, word for word, double especially the first sentence. In my case, I was using a 1/2" pneumatic impact driver. If you find a new tank with one anode, it might have 5 year warranty....find with with two anodes, it might have a 10 year warranty.... The numbers might not be correct but you will see a correlation. Lesson? Buy a single anode, lessor warranty & save some money.....but.... plan to replace the anode.
