Hindsight 101's video: How to replace an anode rod for a gas or electric water heater

I'll show you how to replace an anode rod on a gas or electric water heater. Changing the anode rod every four years is a great way to extend the life of your water heater. The anode rod is a metal component that’s meant to slowly dissolve so that the tank itself doesn’t corrode.
