we will be going into season 4 this coming summer. when I winterize I always pull and inspect the anode. this last fall I had about 50 % metal left on it. I will probably replace it in the fall 2014.]]> Sun, 26 Jan 2014 20:45:22 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=4341&PID=42151#42151 anode rod replacement : Wow, the "used" anode... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=4341&PID=42147#42147 Author: jato

Wow, the "used" anode must have had some outside help like chemicals found in city water or something else like it.  We have had our 177 for three years now, mainly use simple well water and by the looks of it, should last at least a couple more years.]]> Sun, 26 Jan 2014 20:31:33 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=4341&PID=42147#42147 anode rod replacement : I'd buy another to hold on... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=4341&PID=42057#42057 Author: techntrek

I'd buy another to hold on to, as cheap as they are.  Check your existing one mid-summer, and again when you winterize next fall, replacing at that point no matter what.

Doug ours is going on 3yr now and is in between those two anodes. Just wondering if I should replace it this spring when the pod comes out of hibernation?]]> Thu, 23 Jan 2014 13:59:27 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=4341&PID=42056#42056 anode rod replacement : Thanks!!

Just wondering how do you know when it needs to be replaced? We purchased the pod in Sept '13 and have only had it out twice. I realize that our anode is fine, but what does it look like when it's finished?
Thanks!!]]> Wed, 22 Jan 2014 12:25:43 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=4341&PID=42031#42031
