Just an FYI that I responded to your earlier post.
Gordo, Some folks suggest an aluminum rod as most all heaters come with magnesium, well it didn’t work for me aluminum lasted 4 months and smell came back, pulled rod and smell gone. Since my current heater was the 4th heater since we moved into newly built house in 2004, all covered under warranty at no cost to me. Plumber said that the rods corroded very quickly and then the tanks go away. Even draining the tanks every 6 months didn’t help on any of them. After replacing many rods (most lasting 6 to 8 months before the smell comes back), I finally found an electric device (low voltage) on line (Google – smelly water) that has a titanium wire that has been in the current heater for more than a year and still looks new, although a bit pricey $247.00 but doesn’t void the warranty and no smell. Hoping this extends the life as I have tried everything. I would have liked a tankless however I don’t have enough voltage to power one since I have a ground source heat pump for heat and A/C, so the electricians tell me. Wish I would have gone with 400amp service for the house. My have to further investigate this solution eventually.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
