The Rheem-Ruud AP18572 Powered Anode Rod is an accessory that has been developed in order to improve the performance of water heaters. This anode rod is made from high quality aluminum alloy and is 0. 500” diameter and 44” length. Its main purpose to protect the water heater’s tank from corrosion and stop them from eroding the lining of the tank. This is a preventive measure that also increases the time of heater, thus its reliability and low maintenance costs. It is especially useful in the HVAC systems where water heater is involved like in the residential and commercial heating. This makes it possible for users to reduce rust as well as sedimentation hence improving the efficiency of the anode rod.
