One of the many reasons we shine light 🔦 on the importance of Water Heater Maintenance is to protect the “all mighty” anode rod. 💪 The job of the anode rod is very straightforward. It protects your hot water tank from corrosion by basically offering itself up as a sacrifice. The rod attracts corrosive elements in the water in your hot water tank, so that it will corrode before the interior of your tank does. It helps your water heater live a long healthy life when taken care of properly. #GoettlPlumbing #TheRightWayNotTheEasyWay
