Question:
Dutchmen Voltage 5W Toy Hauler. Hot water heater anode rod. I see that they are made from different materials. Mine is snow white and is eaten to nothing. What is the difference between materials?
asked by: Randy S
Expert Reply:
The difference is aluminum hot water anode rods do not corrode as fast as magnesium because aluminum corrodes slower. Between the Camco hot water anode rods we carry, there is a size difference in the diameter, and the correct one depends on the hot water heater you have:
- 10-gallon Atwood: Camco RV Water Heater Anode Rod - Magnesium - 1/2" Diameter x 9-1/2" Long # CAM11593
- Suburban (Mor-Flo): Camco RV Water Heater Anode Rod - Aluminum - 3/4" Diameter x 9-1/2" Long # CAM11563
