[QUOTE="dj, post: 262266, member: 1795"] The odor can also be caused by the anode rod inside the heater. The anode is a sacrificial metal rod that attracts corrosive elements in the water supply to protect the lining of the tank. Most anode rods are magnesium. In water supplies that have "low conductivity," the anode rod operates at low current levels, releasing a small amount of elements from the rod to the water. When the conductivity is high, an excessive amount of inefficient current is produced, releasing larger amounts of elements to the water. The whole article is here [url=http://www.diynetwork.com/diy/hi_utility_room/article/0,2037,DIY_13937_2277311,00.html]http://www.diynetwork.com/diy/hi_utilit ... 11,00.html[/url] Seems like I read/heard something about this happening to alot of folks lately?
