Corro-Protec Powered Anode Rod for Water Heater — 151–337 L, titanium powered protection, odour elimination

Corro-Protec’s Powered Anode Rod is a titanium mixed-metal-oxide powered sacrificial anode that prevents corrosion, eliminates rotten-egg hot water odor, and extends the life of 40–89 gallon water heaters.

Replace disposable aluminum or magnesium anodes with a long-lasting powered solution engineered for modern water systems. This Corro-Protec model is built for tanks with a dedicated anode port (top-mounted) and is safe with municipal or well water, softened systems, and all common heater types — electric, gas, solar, hybrid and geothermal. Manufactured in Canada and backed by a 20-year warranty, the rod comes with a 12-foot power cord and clear installation instructions to simplify swap-out and setup.

How does this anode rod stop the rotten-egg smell in hot water?

The powered anode produces a controlled electrochemical environment that disrupts the bacterial conditions responsible for hydrogen sulfide odors. Instead of releasing metal into the water as sacrificial anodes do, the powered unit keeps tank chemistry balanced and suppresses odor-producing bacteria.

• Eliminates hydrogen sulfide-related odors in hot water
• Works with softened and untreated water
• Powered design maintains protection without consuming metal
• Includes long cord for flexible power placement

Will this fit my 40–89 gallon water heater, and how is it installed?

This model is sized for 40–89 gallon tanks and is meant for installation in a dedicated anode port on top of the heater. If your tank lacks that port or you have a Bradford White model that requires hot water outlet installation, choose the alternate Corro-Protec version designed for that configuration.

• Compatible with standard dedicated top anode ports (except Bradford White)
• Requires 1" 1/16 and 1" 3/16 sockets for removal/installation
• Includes step-by-step instructions and a 12-foot power cable
• Alternate models available for hot water outlet installation when needed

How does this anode rod protect against corrosion and sediment buildup?

The titanium mixed-metal-oxide element provides a non-consumable protection mechanism, unlike aluminum or magnesium rods that degrade over time. This stable protection reduces galvanic corrosion and helps limit sediment accumulation that can impair efficiency.

• Permanently resists corrosion without dissolving into the tank
• Reduces sediment-related efficiency loss and energy waste
• Certified lead-free and Gold Seal certified by the Water Quality Association
• Designed to maintain warranty compliance under U.S. MMWA law

What maintenance, warranty and safety features should I expect?

Corro-Protec powered anodes are maintenance-free compared with sacrificial rods and come with a robust 20-year warranty. The product is manufactured to meet safety and water-quality standards, and it’s compatible with treatment systems like softeners and RO units.

• 20-year manufacturer warranty from Corro-Protec (made in Canada)
• Lead-free construction and WQA Gold Seal certification
• Safe with city water, well water, and common treatment systems
• Energy-efficient design helps reduce long-term utility costs

Who is this for: Homeowners or maintenance professionals wanting a low-maintenance, long-lasting corrosion solution for 40–89 gallon water heaters. It’s ideal for households struggling with hot-water odor, owners of softened-water systems that accelerate anode consumption, and anyone aiming to extend tank life while preserving warranty coverage. If your tank requires hot water outlet installation or is a Bradford White model, pick the alternate Corro-Protec version tailored for that setup.
