There is a filtration process and softener in my house (well water is treated). A strong smell of hard-boiled eggs emanated from the hot water. The Corro-II device was installed Ensured that the water heater is protected and flushed. By the end of the next day, the sulfur smell has been completely I had just received my magnesium rod a month ago, and the sulfur smell did not subside on its own. There are two Corros- I have been impressed with Protect
Based on research I had conducted, I chose to go with this product rather than the aluminum/zinc anode that came with my water softener. The app has worked flawlessly for me for the last two months.
In the case of my 75 gallon gas burning Bradford White heater, the anode rod is in a separate port like those of other brands. Despite the fact that it is NOT recessed within the hot water connection, it does not require the special model with an extra plumbing connection. Look at the top of your B W heater to see if yours has an anode that can be accessed.
This has been installed on my AO Smith since In total, about an inch and a half of the rod was visible In contrast to the sacrificial rod, this rod doesn't fit flush with the top of the tank. With the help of a 31mm socket, I tightened it down. The sulfur smell has gone completely and the rectifier light is still solid green after 24 hours. While there's only a 24 hour deadline, it's still a tight one. This is so far impressive to me.

There are instructions and tips included in the This is a very easy to install product. It is what it is advertised to be. In order to install the Corro-Pur you'll need an impact driver, a 1 1/16" socket to remove the old anode, and a 1 3/8" socket to remove the old anode Using a screwdriver or box cutter, you can remove insulation using the insulation protector, plumbers tape, metal antioxidant, and metal antioxidant. Please read *IMPORTANT Here are some things you should know before you start. Switch off the water heater's breaker and turn off the water supply to it. By releasing pressure from the tank, you can ensure that all water in the tank is safe to drink. As much water will leak from it, you should have a bucket to catch it. (After turning off the water, I ran the hot water in my kitchen sink to relieve the initial pressure)
Remove the cap from the existing anode first. Once you reach the head of the existing anode, you will have to cut away insulation. If you plan to remove the anode, use your impact driver and a 1 1/16" socket. Tie the plumbers tape around the threads of the anode. It is important that the threads are wrapped four or five times Place the Corrosion Index here With the 1 3/8" socket, insert the Protec and tighten. Connect the ground wire to a screw on the cover of the water heater. (I used a ratchet rather than an impact driver on this task as I was cautious not to overtighten. ) Metal antioxidant must be injected into the female connector of the Corrosion Inhibitory Device You can attach Protec to the metal screw that sticks out of the top of your As soon as the clip is attached, trim it with pliers. There is an extra step we can all follow in order to rid our hot water of that horrid A hose must be attached to the bottom valve of your water heater before you plug the new anode into an outlet. Connect the hose to the outside and open the valve to let your water heater drain. You will need to turn on your water heater again with the bottom valve open for five minutes to finish the job You should wait until the water coming out of the hose is black and clear for about ten minutes. The water should be turned off again and the tank should be allowed Make sure the bottom valve is closed. Let the tank fill up again by turning the water back on to the water heater. The breaker should be turned The Corro- duct should be plugged in You can plug the Protect into an electrical outlet that runs at 110v. A power outlet was a long distance away (I had to use an extension cord). Clean the lines of your faucets in your house by running them on hot long enough to get rid
Removing the old anode was challenging because my fingers were difficult to fit into the hole. In order to remove the anode, I wrapped a piece of wire around the anode under the head. It took me about 30 minutes for this to be completed. After I returned to the house about 6 hours later, I couldn't smell anything from the water! This review will be updated if I begin to smell the water again. Now that the results have come in so quickly, I am extremely happy!.
I recommend you buy it! Review writing is not my forte, but this is something I would be interested in. I am a judge in rural Southeast Ohio and I read product reviews to help me decide what products to buy. As a reviewer, it was my duty to do so. A stone lined well deer camp water, which was dug by hand around 1850, is used for watering the animals. I was surprised to find that the HOT water held black particles. The water also smelled bad. It is completely useless. This was not going to work for me. It had been tried everything I could find to reduce the amount of water in the tank. It was time to drain the tank so I shut off the water and let it drain. After removing the old anode rod (before doing so, set the gas to pilot on a gas water heater or turn off the electric hot water heater) I replaced "the anode rod with a shorter one. There is only one hard part. I used an impact. If you don't have one of these, find a local rental facility that will rent you one with a 1 and 1/16 inch socket or use a breaker bar with a friend holding the tank to avoid damaging the Taking the old rod out is the first step. The old rod should be removed by pouring 4 pints of hydrogen peroxide from the pharmacy into the hole. Plug the powered anode into the tank (DO NOT PUT IT IN) and fill up again, but leave ALL of your hot water taps open to let the peroxide work its way through your water lines to kill any bacteria that may be present. The water will flow from the taps once the air has been forced out of the tank. Close the taps when the water is flowing from all of them. Connect the unit to the power source. You have a magic power! A black particle is not present and there is no odor. During the night I let it sit, then tried it the next day. The water does not smell and does not contain black pigment. It was too good to be true for my buddies. That's not an option for me It did instantly cure the problem, as others have claimed (and I did not believe it). You should give it a shot if your cold water smells of manganese or you see black grain in your water. If your hot water exhibits these problems then you owe it to your family to do so. No matter how much I ignore religion, it works like a miracle on me! It's been 30 days now and the water is as good as spring water. I will put a reminder on my calendar to update this review in 30 days
OK it's been 30 days now and the water is as good as.
Due to high iron content in the water that you used, it had a rotten egg scent when you used hot water. One of the most difficult parts of the installation is getting rid of the old interface. Despite the use of a power driver and air compressor, it refused to move. It had to be broken with a breaker bar and a gas pipe of 3 feet as an extension. To get it out, I also had to cut the old annode. There was a lot of reading involved. deal. Just knot it with a rotary tool and bend it in half. Just be careful not to drop the lower half in the tank when you divide it in half to get rid of the old one. Six days have passed and the smell is completely In the event that you are doing this without the help of a plumber make sure you have the right socket, a breaker bar, and a way to cut the old annode if the ceiling is low in the area where If you need to brace your water heater so it does not twist, use some fire wood logs and wedge it against a wall so as not to damage the pipes when you break the old annode amoeba apart. You can find plenty of useful YouTube videos from plumbers that offer tips on removing your annoyances. Prepare properly for removing the old one before you use this item and you will be very satisfied with it.
