- MICHIGAN CUSTOMER SERVICE! We're Proudly located in Southeast Michigan and glad to help! Feel Free to reach-out anytime and you'll likely be chatting with me, David, A real-life Fifth-Generation Plumber. I'll answer Anode questions before, and after installation. We created every aspect of our product and are particularly proud of our instructions. (Forgive the grammar : ) You may see our instructions pasted throughout the industry so we’re doing something right.
- FITS: Almost all water heaters including; Rheem, Reliance, Richmond, Kenmore, State, GE and many more that also use the standard ¾" NPT Anode Rod Connection. You can be certain that you won’t have any leaks by using the INCLUDED Full Roll of Pipe Sealing Teflon Tape. The Large Roll of Teflon Tape leaves you with plenty left over for the next time you check your anode rod’s condition.
- INSTRUCTIONS WRITTEN BY MICHIGAN PLUMBERS! Easy-To-Follow, Step-By-Step, Printed and Registered instructions. Our Licensed Plumbers and Instructors have decades of experience. They gathered and documented exactly how they've installed anode rods, and we have included every step in our manual. (After Some Translation) Our Instructions are written by Plumbers and translated for everyday problem-solvers like you!
- Lifetime Socket: Designed Specifically By About Fluid, and Engineered For Anode Rod Removal. The Chrome Plating Is Just Protective Bling, but the Core-Steel is REAL Chrome Vanadium for strength and Perfect For Abuse!
- WATER HEATER INSTALLED IN A TIGHT SPACE? Even if your water heater is located in a small or tight space, this 44 Inch-long rod is hinged into four segments, less than 12 Inches long each. Each segment can be easily lowered, one-by-one, into your water heater. If the over-all length is a little too long(rare cases), just safely cut it shorter with a simple hacksaw.

Customers are mixed about the leakage of the product.

Some folks will have no problem swapping the anodes out.
Go ahead and begin to remove your old one in the tank now to see if this job is for you is my advice.
Shut the electricity and water off, then relieve the pressure and let the water cool BEFORE YOU BEGIN.
