I was talking to a neighbor who suggested homeowners replace the zinc anode rods in the water heaters periodically, to extend the life of the water heater possibly by double. For a cost about $300 to replace the rod compared to about $1500 for a new water heater around here. We're on city water. Mine broke last year just short of 10 yrs.
Do you tell this to your clients and if so, how often do you recommend replacing the zinc rod (I think he was told 5 yrs)? Thank you.
