Installation / Operation Instruction Manual

General Information continued-

A sacrificial anode(s) is used to extend tank life. Removal of any anode, except

for inspection and/or replacement, will nullify the warranty. In areas where water

is unusually active, an odor may occur at the hot water faucet due to a reaction

between the sacrificial anode and impurities in the water. If this should happen,

an alternative anode(s) may be purchased from the supplier that installed this

water heater. This will minimize the odor while protecting the tank. Additionally,

the water heater should be flushed with appropriate dissolvers to eliminate any

bacteria.
