We are in Yuma also.
I do not get it back in NH in the summer.
Talked with a tech.
He reccommeds that for the winter in AZ, take a old aniode rod and cut off the rod and just put the plug in.
Yes, you will not have the protection of the rod, but, when you leave for the summer, just put a rod in.
Also, take the pressure relief valve off and with a flex hose, pour in a bottle of white vinager and put the relief valve back it, fill the water heater with water and turn the heater back on.
Do it when you can leave it in for 8 hours.
Drain and refill and flush a couple of times.
That will take care of the sulfer smell.
Just my suggestion.
