We have well water also



I havent touched my Rheem water heater since 1999 when the house was built

Installed myself a water softener around 2005

Well actually i did , i raised the temp output on the water heater

I dont even know what an anode was until i read this thread

There i just screwed myself




Flush it out and watch all the sediment pour out. The water heater will work more efficiently.

I am not rich...but I get off my ass everyday to make sure I am not broke!
