the useful life of your heater. Since this heater has had a prolonged
life the rod seems to have done it's job. Replacing the rod may well
cure the smell problem.


The manual for my water heater says that an aluminum rod can be used
in place of a zinc rod to eliminate the smell, apparently it's not as
effective but better than nothing.

Yes, I meant to add that he should use aluminum for a replacement to help
alleviate the smell.
