[C320-list] Water Heater Sacrificial Anode

[Dean Vermeire]

Hi All,

 

The hot water on our C320 smells bad.  I'm not sure I would call it a sulfur
smell, but that wouldn't be too far off.  I have flushed the water tanks,
cleaned with a bleach solution, flushed again, etc.  I do think that having
put the pink antifreeze in for the winter has added to the problem.  The
water at the lake where we keep our boat is undoubtedly well water, rich
with minerals.  I do use a filter cartridge when I fill the tanks, but don't
think I'd really want to drink the water anyway.

 

I have been reading a bit online, and saw references to a sacrificial anode
for the water heater that sounds like it is what I need.

 

Do any of you have experience with this?  It looks like it just replaces the
spigot on the water heater with a metal rod.

 

Any advice is appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Dean Vermeire
