Corro-Protec Powered Anode Rod for 40-89 Gallons Standard Water Heater (except Bradford White)
-
Corro-Protec anodes are compatible with all types, sizes, and brands of water heaters. They are also safe to use with any water source or treatment system, including well water and water softeners
FITS ON ELECTRIC, GAS, SOLAR, HYBRID, INDIRECT AND GEOTHERMAL WATER HEATERS
Corro-Protec anodes are suitable for all types of water heater tanks, except for tankless models, which do not require an anode.
When selecting a Corro-Protec powered anode rod, the capacity of your water heater is the key factor. Standard tanks ranging from 40 to 89 gallons will need the corresponding 40-89 gallon model, designed to fit a dedicated anode port.
Our anode rod can be installed in both new and existing water heaters.
4 MODELS FOR RESIDENTIAL TANKS BETWEEN 10 AND 120 GALLONS & 1 MODEL FOR RV SUBURBAN
The Corro-Protec powered anode rods are compatible with all brands, including:
American, A.O. Smith, Ariston, Bosch, Bradford White***, Buderus***, Giant, John Wood, Kenmore, GWS, State, Lochinvar, Reliance, Rheem, Richmond, Rinnai, RUUD, Stiebel Eltron, Whirlpool, U.S. Craftmaster, and more.
*** We offer a specific model for Bradford White water heaters that often require fitting into the hot water outlet instead of the dedicated anode port.
CORRO-PROTEC IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED IF YOU HAVE A WATER SOFTENER
Corro-Protec anodes are compatible with all water sources, including city and well water, as well as various water treatment systems like water softeners, filtration units, and reverse osmosis.
It's important to note that water softeners can accelerate corrosion, as softened water is more conductive and susceptible to corrosion. They can also encourage the growth of Sulfur Reducing Bacteria (SRB), which are often the cause of the unpleasant "rotten egg" smell in hot water. The Corro-Protec powered anode rod automatically adjusts its electrical current to ensure optimal corrosion protection
Advantages & Benefits
-
24-HOUR ROTTEN EGG SMELL ELIMINATION IN HOT WATER
Corro-Protec will remove the sulfur smell from well water and city water and is especially effective in hot water.
Corro-Protec effectively eliminates sulfur odors in both well and city water, especially in hot water. Regardless of the source of the sulfur smell, the Corro-Protec powered anode rod provides a dependable and affordable solution for neutralizing it. This system is also time-efficient, requiring no maintenance and eliminating the need for chemical treatments like hydrogen peroxide or bleach. Once installed, the energy emitted by the powered anode rod will prevent these unpleasant odors for years to come.
If the odor is present in both hot and cold water, it indicates contamination in your water supply. In such cases, Corro-Protec will reduce the smell in hot water but won’t resolve the issue in cold water. Sulfur odors in hot water are a common problem across North America, affecting both new and older water heaters. With Corro-Protec, you have a reliable solution to permanently tackle this persistent issue.

STOPS CORROSION INSIDE THE TANK & PREVENTS WATER HEATER LEAKS
The Corro-Protec anode, in combination with an electrical current, provides enhanced corrosion protection, significantly extending the lifespan of your hot water tank.
Our technology forms a permanent protective layer over the tank's internal joints and vulnerable areas, offering long-term durability.
Recognized by corrosion experts and validated through laboratory testing, this innovative solution should be standard in all water heater tanks to maximize their longevity.
While replacing magnesium or aluminum anodes annually can protect against corrosion, these materials gradually lose effectiveness as they deplete.
Powered anode rods not only offer superior, long-lasting protection but also help reduce the number of water heater parts sent to landfills due to corrosion damage. Delaying tank disposal is a key step in promoting more sustainable practices.

REDUCES SEDIMENT BUILDUP AND LIMESCALE
The buildup of limescale can lead to several expensive problems, such as the need to repair or replace water pipes and heating systems, along with significant energy inefficiencies. This accumulation reduces the efficiency of heating elements and restricts water flow, ultimately increasing operational costs and maintenance requirements.
The Corro-Protec powered anode helps break apart calcium molecules present in the water, effectively preventing the formation of calcite. This action inhibits the buildup of limescale, which is typically left behind by hard water as it evaporates. By disrupting the formation of limescale, Corro-Protec reduces the problems caused by water with high mineral content, such as decreased efficiency and increased maintenance.
Water with high limescale content can adversely affect the scalp, leading to issues such as dryness and irritation. Additionally, it can make hair brittle and dull, resulting in a lack of shine and manageability. Over time, the mineral buildup from limescale can weigh hair down and make it more prone to breakage, negatively impacting overall hair health.

CLOUDY WATER AND AIR IN HOT WATER LINES
Air in hot water lines is a common issue that can result from several different factors
Corrosion within water heaters is a prevalent issue, as it generates hydrogen gas that accumulates and is released when hot water is drawn. Corro-Protec powered anode rods effectively prevent and halt the corrosion process inside the tank.
Factory-installed magnesium anodes can also generate some hydrogen gas; however, this typically does not affect water pressure. Additionally, shutting off the water supply or conducting maintenance tasks can permit air to enter the system.
Stop corrosion and the bubbles all at once!
CORRO-PROTEC POWERED ANODE ROD HAS BEEN DESIGNED AND TESTED TO LAST FOR MORE THAN 20 YEARS
When a hot water tank comes into contact with corrosive water, the sacrificial anode transfers electrons to the tank's inner surface, providing protection against corrosion. However, this anode gradually depletes over time. After approximately a year, it may no longer offer any protective benefits.
To safeguard your tank, replace the current anode with a Corro-Protec Powered Anode Rod and connect the current rectifier. The combination of our Corro-Protec anode and electrical current will enhance corrosion protection and extend the lifespan of your water heater.
- Powered anode rods are constructed from durable materials like titanium, which do not break down like sacrificial anodes made of magnesium, aluminum, or zinc.
- Unlike temporary protection offered by sacrificial anodes, powered anode rods provide lasting protection.
- They require no maintenance, unlike their sacrificial counterparts.
- The compact 12-inch length of powered anode rods makes them easy to install in tight spaces.
- Additionally, they are safe for use with water softeners, as well as both well and city water.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions
What is the yearly energy consumption of a powered anode rod?
What is the yearly energy consumption of a powered anode rod?
The amount of current consumed by the anode can vary by region due to differences in water hardness, making it difficult to provide an exact figure.
However, on average, the anode consumes about 10 kWh per year. Based on the average electricity price in the United States, operating the anode continuously for a year costs approximately $1.36, which breaks down to about a third of a penny per day.
Is it possible to install a powered anode rod on an older water heater?
Is it possible to install a powered anode rod on an older water heater?
Yes, Corro-Protec Powered Anode Rod can be installed in a used water heater. However, we recommend the installation of a Corro-Protec during the first 5 years of wear of the hot water tank to maximize its efficiency.
What is the required overhead clearance for installing a Corro-Protec?
What is the required overhead clearance for installing a Corro-Protec?
Our anode measures 12 inches in height, which is the approximate clearance you'll need for installation.
What is the length of the power supply cord?
What is the length of the power supply cord?
To facilitate installation, the Corro-Protec is provided with a power supply cord that measures a generous 12 feet in length, allowing for flexible placement.
Is the Corro-Protec compatible with water softeners?
Is the Corro-Protec compatible with water softeners?
Absolutely! The Corro-Protec powered anode rod is safe to use with any water treatment system. Regardless of the type of water softener you have, the Corro-Protec rod will automatically adjust to work effectively with your water.
