Water heater anode rod
Just recently winterized and in doing so removed the water heater drain plug/anode rod. We just got the camper new in September and it has only been used for two weeks so I was a bit surprised to find a considerable amount of consumption of the anode. There is still approximately 90% of the anode remaining but what concerns me is that the part that is missing is mostly near the steel plug and my question is will the magnesium continue to be consumed near the plug until the remainder falls off inside the tank or is the core of the anode made of something other than magnesium so that it would remain intact while the magnesium around it is consumed?
