I just winterized yesterday and noticed after 2 years use that our water heater anode element is over halfway dissolved. Does anyone know where the anode can be purchased?

Yup.  Just got mine last week and flushed out the water heater.  Our Pod is two years old and this was the first time I flushed it out.  Also replaced the anode.  Lots of goop came out.  Would suggest this flushing should be an annual part of your winterization.  Also at least inspect the anode and decide to replace or not.  Safe Travels.
