What Size & Type Anode do I Need For My Hot Water Tank?

plumbonline have put together a comparison table see below to make selecting your anode as simple as possible, as in most cases the owner manual for your hot water service does not detail the size. We have detailed the popular brands and storage capacities and referenced the best choice of anode. As a rule you want the anode to be "tip to toe" running the full height or length of the tank. If you cant see your brand on the chart then just measure the length of the tank and pick the closest length of anode. If the anode is too long they can be simply cut to length with a hack saw.
