Do electric water heaters have anode rods?

Published and updated

Our response

Most anode rods are sacrificial, which means their design will corrode. Because this material is supposed to decompose it will eventually wear off in a few years and require replacing. A tankless water heater is equipped with no anode – the most common water heater has one of those rods.
