Not an expert or a plumber here... but did you put on dielectric couplings
to the hot/cold water lines coming in/out of the tank? If i remember right
this thing isolates the dissimilar materials so corrosion can't occur...
anyone else?

I installed a brand new GE (Rheem) electric water heater about 4 months
ago. Recently I've noticed a slight (but strengthening) smell of sulfur
when I run hot water anywhere in the house.

Years ago, I had a problem with a really strong sulfur smell from the
hot water, and it turned out to be the sacrificial anode. Could that be
the problem already?
