Like another owner here, replacing this component was long overdue. When I pulled the existing one I thought the one I purchased was the wrong one...NOT!
Thanks Coleman Pop Up Parts!
Bought the anode rod because it is obvious from the photo that replacing the rod was not part of the previous owners routine maintenance. This device extends the life of the tank by protecting the steel liner from harmful minerals typically found water.
I always order from Beckley's. Derek is super knowledgeable. The parts always arrive quickly and they are as described. I appreciate that Derek and Beckleys are so responsive to the pop-up community! We are everywhere!
The water heater anode rod is perfect. Original in size and easy to install. Price is also great which is an added bonus. Definitely worth its weight in gold if you desire to maintain your pop up for maximum usage.
