Eliminated sulfur smell in hot water in one day!
So happy I purchased this Corro Protec powered titanium water heater anode!!! I read numerous blog sites, where people were able to reduce their sulfur smell (but not eliminate it) by installing magnesium anode rods. So my logic was, if I spend $60 on a magnesium rod and it doesn't eliminate the smell, I'm going to have to spend even MORE money to go to the powered anode rod. Thus, I purchased the Corro Protec and didn't even bother trying the magnesium rod. And boy oh boy, am I happy I went with the powered rod!!! I installed it, and within 2 hours, the sulfur smell was almost completely gone. At 6 hours there was just a *hint* of a sulfur smell - but it could have just been that I had become accustomed to the smell (sort of a Pavlov's dog effect in my brain) LOL. But the next morning (which was about 20 hours after the install) there was ZERO smell to my hot water. How refreshing to take a shower without that rotten egg smell. Or doing laundry with no sulfur smell... or the dishwasher...!!! I installed this on a 2015 AO Smith ENT50 50-gallon water heater. I had to use a dremel tool to enlarge the sheet metal around the old anode rod (you need a 1.375" socket to install the powered anode rod, and a 1.0625" to remove the old anode rod). But other than that, the installation was simple. The directions were simple. I am not a plumber, so I had to purchase the correct size sockets - but even being a NOOB, it only took about an hour to install. But 45 minutes of that time, was grinding the sheet metal hole larger so the sockets would fit. (In other words, this only takes 15 minutes to install if your hole in the sheet metal is already large enough for the sockets) Just can't emphasize how pleased I am with the results of this - HAPPY, HAPPY, HAPPY!!!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

this really works!
I replaced my old water heater 2 months ago due to it rusting and leaking. I had removed the anode rod 30 years ago due to stinking rotten egg smell if the hot water. The new one was fine until we were gone for a week and it sat unused. when we returned home we were welcomed with the surprise of the return of the stench. After much research I came to the conclusion that Because I have a water softener I needed to replace the anode not merely remove it as softened water conducts the electrolysis that promotes rust. I chose this product and am happy to say that the smell went away almost immediately! the old anode was only 2 months old and was already corroded badly. I recommend this product 100% Thank You for making this amazing item! JerryVerified purchase: YesCondition: New

Suffer/ rotten egg smell finally gone!! It works!!
Residential well system in the Midwest. The hot water tank reeked of rotten eggs-tried EVERYTHING...aluminum rod, zinc rod, no rod, industrial triple stage filtration, huge UV light water sterilizer, chlorination system, even just replacing the whole hot water tank and flushing or bleaching once every week or 2. Rotten egg and sulfur odors ALWAYS came back. Finally found THIS powered anode rod! FOR ANYONE WITH SULFER ODOR IN JUST THE HOT WATER SIDE OF YOUR WATER SYSTEM, THIS WORKS! I slapped this puppy into the tank and gave it one full flush and refill with fresh water, plug the little (it's literally much smaller than the normal rods) bad boy into the outlet and no more rotten eggs!! I am extremely satisfied with this product this far and would recommend it to everyone with this issue. I know this review sounds like a hokey product endorsement but after almost a year of all out war with my well system, this little powered rod was my finally the weapon to end the fight and make sure my wife never complains about taking a shower or brushing her teeth again. Much praise for the developers of this product!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

MUST HAVE
I had HORRIBLE rotten egg smelling/tasting hot water because I'm on well water. In doing research, I learned there was nothing wrong with the water. The culprit was the sacrificial anode in my water heater tank. Some plumbers in the area suggested removing the anode completely, but that would lead to the failure of the water heater within three-five years. I read the reviews from other people that purchased and installed this device and ordered it immediately. I couldn't wait to get it because taking a shower, doing laundry or washing the dishes was nauseating. As soon as I received it, I set about installing it. Getting the old anode out was EXTREMELY difficult, but not out of my abilities. I simply hit the ratchet with a hammer until the old anode let loose and (because of a lack of work space) used a pair of locking pliers to clamp off the anode while I cut the old anode free. Installing the Corro-Protec anode was infinitely easier than getting the old one out. Heck... putting the insulation back on the water heater was more difficult than installing the anode. I'm happy to report that after draining and refilling the tank, we do not have an issue with the hydrogen sulfide rotten egg smell/taste in our hot water. I have told all my relatives and friends about this product because it works so well. I don't take the time out of my day to write reviews for mediocre products. I'm so pleased with how well the powered anode works, writing a review was a pleasure. BTW... I had a technical question for the manufacturer, so I called the number provided in the paperwork. The gentleman who answered the phone (in French, but he does speak English as well, so don't hang up) knew every aspect of this product and was able to answer all my questions.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Working great so far
Installation was relatively easy. No operational issues over the past two years. Don't know if the technology is effective yet... and hope I never have a tank failure as this would confirm its effectiveness.

No More Smelly Water
The original anode installed from the manufacturer of the water heater caused the water to smell like rotten eggs. The reviews on this product convinced me to try this product. I along with my wife were amazed that in one days time the smell was gone. I'm a DIY person so it was very easy to install and the complete task didn't take me over 45 minutes.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

No more rotten egg smell !!!
We had just purchased a new/replacement water heater, and within a few weeks began to smell a rotten egg odor in the hot water that was getting progressively worse. With a little web research found out that it uses an aluminum sacrificial anode. I cannot be certain but the prior model I replaced this with might have used a magnesium anode, and I had no problems with smell (note that if you have well water with a water softener, I read that magnesium anodes don't last long which might explain why my last water heater only lasted 5-1/2 years). Depending on the type of water that you have, there is a strong rotten egg smell to the hot water as a result of the aluminum anode. The hot water also has a different feel to it as a result. Since this is not considered a warranty issue or defect, you have no choice other than to figure out how to have your water pre-treated/post-treated, OR replace the anode with either magnesium (which doesn't guarantee the smell will go away and may not last long) or a third-party powered anode. After numerous youtube videos I decided on this highly rated powered anode, and for a little over $100 and a bit of hard work to replace the aluminum anode, the rotten egg smell is gone and the water now has a normal feel to it - i.e., no impurities as a result of that aluminum anode. After only about 2 months of use, the aluminum anode I pulled out of the water heater was caked with white goop that smelled and had a disgusting greasy feel to it - that goop was no doubt leaching out into the hot water! The disadvantages to replacing this aluminum anode with a powered anode are (a) the extra cost, (b) the additional labor, and (c) it voids your water heater warranty. But this product works great and is guaranteed for 20 years !!!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

No more rotten-egg smell!
Yes, yes, yes, yes. After trying all kinds of anode rods (including *no* anode rod), this finally did the trick. I had my doubts, but it's been over three weeks and our hot water no longer smells like rotten eggs. Hallellujah. This feels overpriced for what it is, but I have zero regrets about purchasing it.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
