For those of you who have replaced the anode in their Suburban Hot Water Heater ...did you get the OEM Suburban part (#232767) for around $15 or the Camco one (#11691) for around $9. I guess the big questions are ...are they equivalent AND will using the Camco model void the warranty ?

I think maybe the part number for the Camco rod is wrong I get a water tank rinser for that part number. I don't think it makes a lot of difference but I would get a magnesium rod not an aluminum one. Magnesium works better and is not as toxic as aluminum. Also Magnesium will not cause as much sediment to build up in the tank. ------------- Sean, 2011 Rpod RP-173,2009 Jeep Liberty Rocky Mountain Edition

=================== You're correct ...I had multiple window up on Amazon and grabbed the wrong Camco part #. As for the Aluminum versus Magnesium tip - - thanks a lot. I didn't pick up on that when I was reviewing the on-line replacement choices. 'Slogger ------------- Livin' the Dream ...'Slogger |

Seanl ...if you don't mind me asking - - where do you get your magnesium replacement anodes ? I've been doing some searching and the vast majority of anodes for sale are of the aluminum variety. I found a couple magnesium ones but they don't look compatible with the Suburban hot water heater in my Pod.
