Hi, Anode replacement relates to how conductive the water is. In over-softened water, I've had them down to a bare wire in six months, while in clean, not very conductive water, they can go for six years. In general and with decent water, I check anodes every three years, but with an older tank, replace it and check again in one year to see how fast it's being used up.
Yours, Larry
