20,000 WATER HEATERS ARE NEEDLESSLY REPLACED EVERY DAY!

The top two causes of water heater failure are:

#1 - Bad Anode Rod

Sacrificial anode rods protect internal components of a water heater tank from corrosion, and should be replaced every 3 to 5 years to assure ongoing corrosion protection.

#2 - Scale & Sediment Build-up

Heat inside a water heater tank causes minerals like calcium to come out of solution, resulting in scale and sediment settling and hardening, degrading heater efficiency over time.

  • Solid and flexible rods up to 50″ long
  • Impressed current anodes (or powered anodes)
Light Duty Commercial 1" dia x 6" nipple x 48"

DIP TUBES

  • Scale and sediment build-up causes less hot water & higher energy bills
  • curved dip tubes agitate the sediment and prevents it from settling at the bottom of the tank.

DRAIN VALVES

  • Scale and sediment build-up causes less hot water & higher energy bills
  • Annual rinsing and flushing of build-up is recommended
  • Our drain valves will make this process easier than ever.
