Anode Maintenance

1.Turn "OFF" the electrical supply to the tank.

2.Close the cold water supply valve.

3.Open a nearby hot water faucet served by the system to depressurize the system.

4.Connect a hose to the drain valve and drain 22 litres (6

gal.) as directed in the “Draining and Flushing” section. NOTE: The anode(s) has been factory installed using a power tool. It may be necessary for a second person to sta- bilize the tank. A few sharp blows on the handle of the sock- et wrench should loosen the anode nut. If an impact wrench (power drive) is available, this is an easy way to remove an anode.

6.Using a 1 1/16" socket, remove anode(s) and inspect it. The surface may be rough, full of pits and crevices, but this is normal. If it is less than approximately 10mm (3/8 in.) in diameter, or the inner steel core is exposed, the anode(s) should be replaced.

7.Apply Teflon® tape or sealing compounds approved for use with potable water, to the threads of the anode(s) and install into the tank top.

8.Open the cold water supply valve and open a nearby hot water faucet to purge air from the tank as directed in the “Filling” section.

9.Check for leaks, repair as required, and re-test.

10.Turn "ON" the electrical supply to the tank.
