How to Replace the Anode Rod in your RV's Water Heater
How often do water heater anode rods usually need replacement?
What are the signs of the anode rod needing replacement?
ANSWER: Anode Rods
The Anode Rod is part of the Suburban Water Heater's drain plug. It should be checked at least once a year and should be replaced when half of the rod has been corroded away.
If you wait to change the rod until it is totally corroded you stand a chance of corrosive damage to the tank. Also, excess sediment from the Anode Rod can cause flow problems with your RV's fresh water system.
The video below explains how to replace the Anode Rod.
As the video states when you are replacing the Anode Rod it is also a good time to flush your RV's Water Heater
to get rid of any Sediment etc.I hope this information helps.
