Anode Rod- OEM or Aftermarket

[dbenoit]

Unfortunately our water heater uses an anode rod which I need to replace. I have heard that the aftermarket ones could possibly

not do as intended and leave you with a rotted tank. So I am 99.9% on the OEM rod. Any comments or suggestions?

Thanks, David

Assume you have a Suburban water heater, as Atwood water heaters only use nylon drain plugs.

Yes it is a Suburban. Wish it had an aluminum tank.

Mr. Know It All (not here) told me that the aftermarket one's work fine and don't know where to get an OEM.

I saw a video of a test between the 2 and the aftermarket one didn't work as well. That's why I was a askin.
