Magnesium Anode Rod $6.75

[fella10]

have always used this anode rod from Amazon, ... last week I went to buy more and found third party vendor Power and Supply had them much lower than the last time I bought from Amazon, ... Amazon is matching their price(for now), but P&S is without tax, ... free shipping with Prime, so an order is actually filled and shipped from Amazon, ...

anyway, if you're in the market for a new anode rod, you might be interested in this, ... last week, I bought the "only three left in stock", but I see they have restocked and are continuing the lower price(for now), so I wanted to share the info, ..... happy trailering ......

I just checked that web site today and it shows the price is $5.53. Now I have to find out which water heater I have. Thanks for the information!

Dang, just bought one for the upcoming season last week. But I'm all over this, thank you!

[fella10]

yep, .... just looked at that site, and they're lower now($5.53) than yesterday when I posted($6.75), ... that's even a better deal .... my mom always said, "a penny saved, is a penny earned" .... this is certainly an opportunity to save a few pennies, .... happy trailering ........

Thanks - I ordered 2 also. Now I just need to get out camping!

Thanks for the heads up Fella10. Just ordered two @5.53 each - plus small sales tax but with free shipping - will arrive 4/2.

This is a great deal!

[Sebourn]

I ordered two also scheduled to arrive April 4th. Thanks for posting.

Maybe I'm confused... Isn't ZINC the normal and preferred material for water heater anodes??

[Pixelbum1]

I think you are good to go for either one. Longevity seems to be about the same but really depends on the water minerals in your region. Change it once a year, esp. at THAT price(!) and yea shall have no problemo's!

Safe camping and enjoy!

Dang. Does not ship to Canada and I pay $15.00 ++ for one.

All Suburban water heaters come with a magnesium anode rod, as per their instructional videos we keep at this link:

and here is a copy of the anode rod video explaining such:

How about a little "HELP!" After reading this thread I went out to take a look at my water heater and anode rod. First of all I don't remember where I put my anode rod when I winterized my water heater. I looked for the make and it doesn't say on it outside. I know it has 3/4" pipe thread for the rod. It has one elect. sw. outside and one sw. inside for gas operation. I could go thru my paperwork tomorrow but maybe someone will chime in with the answers.
Is this the anode rod I need for this water heater. TIA for your time.

Yes, if you have an outside switch, it should be a Suburban, and yes this anode should fit it.

Click on the Suburban video guides link I provided in a post above. It's show you what your water heater will look like if it's a Suburban...which I'm confident it is.

wmtire, Thank you Sir. I already watched the video and yes that is it. I think I will go ahead and order a couple new rods.

[ProCharger]

Thanks, ordered 3 along with a tank rinser and a spare element (think I ordered the correct one). After 1 season I would say ours looked ok, some pitting but at $6 a new one each year is cheap insurance.

thanks for the heads up, just ordered 2. Lisa
