ABOUT YOUR WATER HEATER

ANODE PROTECTION

The suggested time after installation when the anode(s) should be inspected is:

Heavy Duty

7 years

For softened water supplies or in areas of poor water quality, it is recommended the anode(s) be inspected 3 years earlier than shown (refer to “Water Supplies” on page 38).
