Due to shock hazard and to prevent accidental water leaks, this inspection
should be done by a qualified servicer or plumber, and requires that the
electric power and cold water supply be turned off before servicing the anode
rod.
Note: Do not remove the anode rod from an operating water heater. Operating
the water heater without the anode rod will shorten the life of the tank and
VOID the warranty.
The anode rod should be inspected after a maximum of three years and
annually thereafter until the condition of the anode rod dictates its
replacement.
Note: Artificially softened water requires the anode rod to be inspected
annually.
