Anode rods

Member Posts: 111
Good Morning,
I just bought a home with a beautiful Buderus G115 and a LT160 indirect. It is also equipped with a Logomatic control, by far the best heating plant I will ever own. My question is, how often should I change the anode rod in the indirect.?????
Thanks in advance,
Bill Hobbie

anode rod
If there is an electronic anode rod, there should be a green light on. If the red light goes on, its time to change the anode.0 -
Buderus instructions
The instructions for my Buderus indirect say to inspect the rod (non-electric) every two years. They do not say when to replace it.0 -
Anode
Pull the anode rod every two years. Note the length. If it looks eaten up or the length is too short. Replace. Monitoring the rod will give you a good idea of it's service life.0 -
Wild Bill,
Check this out: http://www.waterheaterrescue.com/TheTank.html
The buderus tanks come with a HEFTY anode rod. They don't want any problems here in NA. yet they do happen. As with any tank, a yearly inspection is manditory yet almost NEVER done. (FACT)
Do this and save a tank. Use a wire brush on the rod if it is smoothe anywhere. Replace with Buderus rod if near wire is apparent.
I've had to change out a horizontal tank with a G115 above. NOT FUN!!!
Pre propper planning prevents,,,,,,,,
Look at your rod.
