Product description

The Blue Lightning Aluminum/Zinc Anode Rod is an essential upgrade for homeowners experiencing unpleasant odors from their hot water supply. This 42-inch sacrificial rod is specifically formulated with a blend of aluminum and zinc to combat the growth of anaerobic bacteria that can produce a "rotten egg" smell in water heaters. The zinc component acts as a natural inhibitor, effectively neutralizing odors while the aluminum provides reliable cathodic protection for the tank's interior. This rod features a flexible, segmented design that makes it incredibly easy to install in confined spaces or under low ceilings, eliminating the need to cut the rod or tilt the heater. With a standard 3/4" NPT hex plug head, it is compatible with a wide range of residential water heater models. By sacrificing itself to the corrosive elements in your water, this anode rod prevents your tank from rusting through, ensuring years of dependable hot water and a cleaner-smelling home environment.
