Get rid of your rotten egg smell now with the Corro-Protec anode rod. 👃

[@TacticalTightwad]

I'm sure the anode rod on the Corro-Protec will last over 20 years, but that wall transformer power supply will probably require replacing every 5 years or so. I wouldn't cover up the green light for that reason.

My AO Smith 50 gal gas water heater was installed 3 1/2 years ago. I drain and flush once a year and have had very little debris come out during the flush. I also wanted to change out the anode rod and be proactive before it caused problems. I started reading and found the Corro-Protec Anode rod and read about the benefits of using it instead of a standard anode. I ordered the Corro-Protec and installed it after a drain and flush. I will tell you USE A INPACT DRIVER !!! instead of a breaker bar as it made it a 10 minute job from start to finish. The warranty of 20 years was enough to install one and I will continue to drain and flush at least once a year, and that "green" light on the plug in is nice to see when I enter the garage. For the price it was worth not having to change it every 4 or so years.

Egg smell can also be high manganese not just bacteria

[@j.c.4145]

You can also use lead acetate paper to test the cold and hot water for hydrogen sulfide. The gas is dangerous. Chlorinating the water (not to be used for 24 hours afterwards) or using standard drug store hydrogen peroxide help to eliminate sulfur bacteria. If the tank pressure will take it, raising the temperature to 160 degrees Fahrenheit for several hours also can kill the bacteria. A lot of info on the problem and solutions are on line. The gas is flammable and care should be taken not to let the gas accumulate in low or confined spaces.

I had to laugh when you comment that you had to cover up the green LED. (7:08) Then I installed my Corro-Protec anode rod and I now realize you're right, that damn green LED is super bright !!

I'm sure glad you started this channel.

Benjamin Franklin coined the expression, "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cute."

[@robertbateman3665]

I believe you meant "a pound of CURE."

[@TheAndyCzech]

I tried this orzo-Protec rod and it worked for about 6 months. Now the odor is back!

[@multipotentialite]

What happens after 20 years? How do you know if it stops working? The smell will return but the tank might be too far gone.

[@corro-protec]

The green light on our power supply indicates that the product is functioning properly. However, after the 20-year period, there may come a time when the rod needs to be replaced to maintain optimal performance.

Hello... Love the channel! Not sure if you do already... But I'd love to see more on shocking the well with bleach. Do you have any videos on this? Thanks for your time and content 🙂

[@Mechanicallyincleyend]

I don't but i'm sure quick search would find some results

[@russellstroh73]

Is it a proven technology to extend the lift of the water heater, we don’t have smelly water?

[@corro-protec]

Absolutely, this technology is widely implemented across various sectors, including in the protection of underground gas pipelines throughout the United States.

[@cathyhughes1194]

With all this talk about trying to get the old rod out....can one put a small bit of WD 40 or 3 in 1 oil to maybe get it freed up?

[@dperreno]

27mm will substitute for that 1-1/16 socket. For some reason, I do happen to have a 27mm in my toolbox, but no 1-1/16.

[@dap777754]

Anyone else think $170 for a Corro-Protec is price gouging?

Lets see , Magnesium rods @ $40-$45 every three or four years for 20 years =, every 3 years @ $40=$268, 4 years @ $45=$225

[@louissparks2496]

Definitely overpriced.

[@dap777754]

@@gep121641 Or, what if it costs Corro-Protec $15 in materials to make their widget? And they charge $170. You good with that?

[@360_tours]

How does it work? I dont trust things that arent explained.

[@j.c.4145]

It is hydrogen sulfide (H₂S), David.
