• Whirlpool Energy Smart 188410, 14 Operational Conditions Anode Rod/Water Odor Each water heater contains at least one anode rod, which will slowly deplete (due to electrolysis) prolonging the life of the water heater by protecting the glass-lined tank from corrosion. Adverse water quality, hotter water temperatures, high hot water usage, hydronic heating de- vices, and water softening methods can increase the rate of anode rod depletion. Once the anode rod is depleted, the tank will start to corrode, eventually developing a leak. Certain water conditions will cause a reaction between the anode rod and the water. The most common complaint assoc
