Thanks for posting this - very concise and to the point! I installed a Corro-Protec powered anode earlier this summer (cottage well water supply). This installation went well. A couple of tricks I picked up during the process - I only drained off a few gallons of water so the tank would have some weight. My tank is only 4 years old, but the anode rod felt like it was welded in place! I used a breaker bar that only succeded in turning the tank. I ended up putting a cinch strap around the top of the tank, and wedged a piece of pipe between the cinch buckle and the wall. Worked beautifully - finally got the old anode out. The powered anode removed the sulphur smell completely by later in the evening, without having to drain the whole tank. And - the socket the company recommends (1 1/8 or 33 mm) does not exist - at least I couldn't find one. However, I did the same as you and used my adjustable wrench. The company says not to torque down the new device too much anyway.

Electronic anode absolutely solved my stinky water problem when we moved into our well water supplied house 10 years ago. Thanks for getting the word out about this fantastically simple solution.

Great video! I too have a well and when I replaced my water heater the smell of rotten sewage was disgusting. We tried the magnesium rod then aluminum with no change in the awful odor. I tried hydrogen peroxide but getting it into the water heater was a chore. I've spoken to plumbers, people in the well drilling industry, water heater manufacturing, researched for four years before running into this product, read all the reviews and couldn't believe it. Placed my order and received in two days. I used my impact wrench to remove the old anode rod and had this product installed in less than 20 minutes start to finish. It took longer to drag out and fill the air compressor than the actual installation of the new Corro-Protec rod. I needed a product that I could install by myself without the cost of an expensive plumber and this was it! If a 62 year old woman can do it, YOU can too! So far it's been one week, I 'sniff' my hot water every day....hoping the smell will not return and so far I am VERY HAPPY. Now I can have company over without the embarrassment of smelly water!!

I used a Ryobi 18 volt impact wrench to remove the anode rod. If you have metric sockets, use 27mm which is about the same as a one and 1/16". If more people knew about water heater maintenance, plumbers would have a lot more vacation time. Nice video!

I'd bet this is why my water heater bottom rusted out. I had no idea there was maintenance to water heaters. Thanks for the vid.

I installed a Corro-Protec anode and it solved my problem. I emptied the water tank first and then refilled with fresh water and then installed the Corro anode - the problem never came back. I have since been told that replacing the magnesium anode in a tank with a new aluminum one will solve the problem. The advantage with the Corro -Protec one is it does not corrode away with time and it is supposed to extend the life of the tank.

Pour a couple of cups of bleach in your well, chase it with a few gallons of water from a water hose. Let it set a while and then turn faucets on in the house until you smell bleach. Let it set overnight and run water till the strong smell of bleach fades away some. Your water may be high in coliforms, May need to a sample to the county for testing.

I had installed a new electric hot water heater and noticed the classic "rotten egg" smell every time I turned on the hot water. Secondly, my water faucets would sputter like there was air in the lines. No matter how long I ran the water, I could not get the faucets to stop sputtering. I installed the Corro-protec Titanium anode rod (very simple process) and instantly the rotten-egg odor was gone, no waiting period at all, and also to my surprise the faucets stopped sputtering. This anode works, and is very inexpensive as opposed to the other options of installing tanks and other water conditioning systems that companies are recommending.

43 years old and never smelled rotten eggs in my life. I dont think 95% of the people who use the expression have either. Anyway, appreciate the tip. Will give it a try.

Thank you Thank you Thank you!!! First time home owner facing this problem.

I had this problem in spades when we moved into a new house. It was "episodic", and seemed to occur in the evenings after someone showered. No one could figure out the reasons, and I finally decided to do two things that ended the problem, which had persisted for two months. The smell it generated was overwhelming, and not just some faint whiff. Powerful only begins to describe how strong the smell was. First, I shock-bleached the water heater tank, using regular clorox bleach, and let that sit for overnight. I can't remember how much bleach I put in. Second, I looked up some information on shock chlorination of wells, (which we get our water from) and followed the instructions there. We have a 400+ foot well, and I shut off the inlet to the house, dumped what I think were several gallons of bleach in the well, and then used the outdoor hose outlets to recycle the water in the well "column" (by putting the hoses from the faucets back into the top of the well) to mix the bleach through the column of standing water. That only takes a couple of minutes. Then I let it sit overnight, and finally the next day drained the excessively chlorinated water by putting the hoses into the street for half an hour or so. Depending on how your house is plumbed, and with what valves, you might have to do things somewhat differently. Since then, the sulfur bacteria must have died, because it hasn't recurred in the three years since. I never did replace the anode on the water tank.

@RRaucina

Yes, you are exactly correct. This may work in many places. I have done so. You killed the iron bacteria in the well, but after a year or two they may return. The key is the re-circulation of water in the well column, which many do not do. Also these electric anodes work [of course NO anode works too] but the tank will rust out quickly.

I had this same issue. Water softener guy changed the anode rod to solve the problem.

Twice now in my life have the combination of both pipe dope and teflon tape been required to seal up a tapered thread arrangement on a water system, as neither when used alone have been sufficient to stop a small leak.

Have a vacation home with a well. Once the well pump and WH were replaced I started having this issue. Tried an aluminum zinc / alloy rod first. It worked for about 6 months and the smell came back. I'm trying this model now. Hopefully with it being plugged in all the time it will not fail. Very informative, thank you.

34dawgsgo: I have a similar situation - lake cabin with well and new hot water heater. Did the electric anode work for you? I've also read that turning the water heater down to warm/vacation mode while away for days/weeks (to save on energy costs) can make it worse. supposedly temporarily heating to over 130 degrees (scalding hazard!) can kill off the bacteria that have accumulated in a seldom used water heater. This article has some good info: www.home-water-heater.com/rotten-egg-smell.html

I have noticed certain wells will eat anode rods up quicker than others. On an artesian well the anode rod deterioted within 6 months of installing a new water heater. Smelled like rotten eggs and water was blackish. I believe it had a high magnesium or calcium content in well. The customer tried suing me because it had ruined all her clothes while doing laundry, why she didnt stop on the first load is beyond me. AO Smith(water heater manufactorer) reimbursed her for all her clothes.

after much research about ten years ago i discovered 'water rescue' electronic anodes. since have changed to corrorod? work great... have done about ten of them in my country rentals.. used impact wrench, broke several extensions using breakover. just use pex from heater.. done it for years, no problems. one problem corrorod changed sizes from smaller anode socked to larger install anode...why , don't know, but major mistake on their part.. good luck.. not a job for fainthearteed.. also you can use 220v from heater to power anode.

Great info!

it is easy to replace i just have to ask why a " Powered" one? why use something that uses power and now you have to deal with the power cord, circuit breaker it is just not needed to be powered keep it simple the more passive the better. everyone if your replacing the anode you might think about replacing your TP valve as well the tp valve can save the lives of your family. good video. you were to the point and clear on all the points needed to be made. again good video.

I need to get the anode rod mentioned here. I wanted to add an electric water softener as well, but I believe that might negatively affect the electric anode rod. Does anyone know anything about this?

Protip, when you are applying teflon tape, the way you are doing it causes issues, since you are treating it like you are trying to wrap something with electrical tape with the sticky side in, and it makes it hard to get a good tight wrap with the T tape. However, if you flip the roll, as though you were wrapping something with electrical tape with the sticky side out, you get much better control over the tape, you don't have to constantly roll the tape that gets over-dispensed back onto the roll, and it takes far less time to do it.

“Nice to take a hot shower and not want to gag” 😂TRUTH 🤣

I’m dealing with this problem now. Mg anode rod was replaced with Al and still smells after almost 2 weeks. Anaerobic bacteria in the water react with Sulfur in the water to produce H2S gas. I’ve seen a suggestion to up the thermostat on the tank to 160°F (mine only goes to 150°F, so I’m doing that now). Leave it there for a few hours and it’s supposed to kill the bacteria. The other trick I saw on another site was to use 3% Hydrogen Peroxide (the kind you buy at the drugstore) 1cup per 10Gal of tank, leave it for several hours and flush. This also will kill the bacteria. Peroxide breaks down to water and oxygen, so it’s safer than a bleach shock.

Did it work?

I bought a $27 zinc anode rod on Amazon, and it solved the rotten egg smell.

A $14 solution if you only need a gallon per day for drinking that I developed after getting sick of hauling home gallon jugs and then having to recycle them: Use a cheap Walmart aquarium pump, 4 feet of air hose and a 6 inch long aeration stone placed in the bottom of a non-toxic tank of plastic like a 5 gallon blue plastic water jug or a 6 gallon wine making tub or even a glass aquarium. Fill it with your sulfur dioxide or hydrogen sulfide tainted water and aerate for two days or more to let all the sulfur (dissolved gas) aerate out to a level you may not even be able to detect. Here in Florida the sulfur is a dissolved gas that the locals get used to but it irritates my IBS. I can not guarantee it will work in the northeast where I have heard the sulfur can get so bad you have to open a window before taking a shower. But sometimes a very simple solution is adequate and the cheapest too. I still run my water through a Brita filter before drinking but that is an optional luxury in most cases. Note the perfect location for convenience is to place the container above sink level on a strong shelf. You use a hose to fill the tank from the sink, then siphon off the purified water using gravity as needed.

I only have 12v power on site. I have a custom10 gallon tank (4" sealed and pressurized PVC tube) I want to fill with a transfer pump. Because the tank will get very hot from the sun and will be pressurized to 20psi, do you think either of these might help with the sulfur smell?

I worked in the oil and gas fields in northern British Columbia. Before the very first day anyone working in that area is required to take and pass what's called an H2S course before they can even start work. It's poison gas in other words. We were required to wear H2S detectors at all times. It's a deadly gas in fairly low concentrations. One of the sure signs of H2S is that rotten egg smell. If I remember the numbers correctly it can be smelled with concentrations as low as 5 parts per million by some people. I'm baffled what the anode rod would have to do with producing H2S as no doubt your living in an area where it's coming in with your well water. At the minimum I'd have your well water properly tested for the amounts you might be dealing with. H2S is no joke.

H2S is a byproduct of organic decomposition. You can also find it in sewage and trash, so it's not out of place in a home as you might think. If the microbes or bacteria are affected by the cathotics in your water heater magnesium is one of the strongest naturally anodic metals used. Zinc is next, aluminium is weaker yet. Jsyk.

Yes, hydrogen sulfide is dangerous if smelled in high doses and for a prolonged period of time. However, it's also out there in nature in decaying plants, animals, and sewage, usually at low oxygen conditions. It also occurs in mines, springs, sewers, swamps, volcanoes, and fossil fuels, etc. The most common cause of smelly water is anaerobic bacteria that exist in some water and react with sulfur and the magnesium and aluminum "sacrificial anodes" that come with most water heaters to produce hydrogen sulfide gas, making the classic rotten egg odor. Using 3% hydrogen peroxide that you can purchase from the drug store may help the smell, however, it will come back. Therefore, replacing the anode rod is the most economical and reasonable option.

Even my room heater smeels like rotten egg... First I thought mouse or lizard dead inside but when I disassembled it there was nothing......
