Fixed the smelly hot water
If you're looking at this, odds are it's due to smelly hot water. I bought a house with well water unknowing of this potential issue. I noticed it after moving in and eventually replaced the heating elements (zinc plated copper) on the 6yr old AO Smith water heater. This cured the issue until the water heater rusted out after 11yrs. Replaced it with another AO Smith and within 3-4wks, the smell came back. I bought the same elements as I did for the old one but the smell came back every 3-4 wks (I'd drain/fill to get rid of it). Eventually found the smelly water webpage and other forums and discovered the powered anode. I never did try pouring bleach or other items in the tank, didn't figure that would bode well for the septic tank.
It's been 6+ weeks since I installed the powered anode and so far so good. The odor definitely would have returned by now. I'm pretty handy so I replaced it myself. As noted in another review, the anode is about 3"s beneath sprayed insulation. I used a pocket knife to cut around the circumference of the hole and popped out a large chunk (used later to put back in the tank). This is where it got interesting... direction state to use an impact to loosen the old anode... maybe I was just unlucky but I ended up using 2 different air compressors and 2 different 1/2" impact guns. The 150 psi/6 gallon didn't have enough capacity before wanting to fill the tank again so I used the 150psi/33 gallon compressor for more air... neither budged the anode. The air gun is a Harbor Freight model. It's worked fine for any car repairs. I held it on the anode a long time with no movement. My last shot was to try my 25yr old Craftsman gun and thankfully that finally got it spinning. I've had this tank 2yrs so maybe that's why. Everything else went fine. Notch the anode cap for the power wire. I only flushed water though the tank to clean it out also. Attached pics show rod comparison and lime on the old anode.

Great ordering experience and fast delivery
I stumbled upon Supplyhouse doing a reach for a water heater an electric anode rod for my A O Smith product.
Great website and quick delivery. Impressive! Got you bookmarked for any other plumbing or heater supplies.
Bravo, keep up the great work.

I will buy another one.
Powered rods are the way to go if you are tired of flooded basements. This model monitors itself for proper operation, open connections, shorted anode or control module malfunction. I also like that it actively adjusts current as needed to protect your tank.

We have well water and an AO Smith electric hot water heater that we have n
Been having issues with the smell of our hot water for a while. When it starts getting bad we had to replace the Anode rod to help with the sulfur smell. My wife read about these electric Anode rods and we decided to give it a try. Can't speak to long term reliability as it has only been in for two weeks but in those two weeks we have not been able to detect ANY odor in our water. This is a first for us and were amazed that it seemed to work so well. Only time will tell if it lasts, but right now I would highly recommend this device.

Best control box of the power anode choices
A big issue with a powered anode rod is what if someone unplugs it? What if the control electronics fail? Then you go from great protection to nothing. I like that the control unit on this box is mountable, and has status indication, and some diagnostics.
The wires are crazy short, so expect to supply your own.

Got rid of the smell
Replaced 20 year old hot water heater and within a few weeks started to get a strong sulfer smell. Purchased this powered anode rod and installed it. It's been a month and no smell !! I also have a water softener which apparently is rough on the water heater. The new rod is supposed to help the life span so looks like a win win.

Eliminates the problem
The picture does not represent the powered anode, the powered rod being much thinner. I bought this device to eliminate the hydrogen sulfide rotten egg smell that was present in the hot water of my newly built house. Hard well water and a water softener creates just the right conditions for anerobic bacteria to generate the gas as a waste product of their metabolism. Have an AO Smith Commercial Grade 50 gallon hot water tank.
Just follow the instructions. The new hot water tank made it easy to remove the magnesium anode with a 3/4'" breaker bar and a 1 1/6" deep socket. A couple of hard raps with a rubber mallet and the anode was free without spinning the tank. One day, water tank manufacturers will not just pack solid foam above the anode rod, which means digging and blowing out the foam to grab the anode with the socket head.
After removing the anode, I shocked the tank with 2 quarts of 3% hydrogen peroxide and let it sit for a few hours. Then installed the powered rod. That was 2 months ago, no return of rotten egg smell, the system works.
Have pair of needle nose pliers handy to remove the old anode from the tight hole in the top of the tank, and to attach the wire to the powered anode once it is installed. If your system is older, you made need an impact wrench to loosen the anode.
