    No softwater

    I don’t wanna think about spending money on a new one when I feel like I should have gotten something out of this one since it was probably never set right. The water heater will pretty much catch up on its own and it’s not necessary to drain it then recharge the softener or anything like that...

    No softwater

    Thanks for your response! I am using a Kenmore 420, I’m not sure what you mean by “head unit” but I installed this thing like 6 or 7 years ago just to replace the old one that the previous owner had in there and I didn’t really want to pay a plumber just to come out and hit a button.

    Anode rod replacement

    Since replacing my water heater about 5 years ago I have been paranoid that my new one will leak on me soon since I have a softener and heard that can eat up the rod sooner. I have an American brand water heater and was looking for the anode on top. There was an empty cap that I pulled off and...
