Many Thanks for your reviews!
Chuck
Hello,
I ordered and installed your product (model number in the subject line) back in 2017 for my 40 gallon Rheem electric water heater. It was one of the best plumbing-related purchases I have ever made, and I intend to be a customer for life.
Here’s the question: is it advisable to replace the product since it has been installed nearly 10 years? It may be another five years before I replace the entire water heater, possibly longer. Not experiencing any issues or leaks, but just wanted your opinion about this.
Thanks,
Chuck Hello Chuck,
As long as the controller's LED is not flashing Red, it is working properly. Our anodes are made from titanium therefore they do not react with water and degrade.
Your good to go Chuck,
Matt...

There are many products on the market today that in my opinion are noting more than junk. I found this out the hard way with my customers. I replaced 4 anodes in January 2025 2 with the highest priced, most reviewed model sold and 2 with tank tec. My area is very low PH and eats up tanks. I flushed the tanks in March 2026, nothing abnormal on both products. Checked the power output to the anode and only .03 .09 volts on the high priced brands. The tank tec units were 2.3 and 2.7. This tells me the reviews are nothing but cooked on the high price brand. There is no way this is a strong product that maintains corrosion protection that lasts if it virtually stops within 2 years and tank tec stays running strong with less reviews. Stick with science and tank tec brand if you want your tank to last.

Great product, possibly the only unit of its kind that actually works, I have full confidence in the seller (creator) of this product, do your research!

The issue with similar systems is the power supply fails relatively quickly. This one has been known to lasting many years. Is possible that this unit can fail, yes but after looking at other units, this one seems to be the Exception and the company is excellent to work with. I did previously purchase one of these in April of 2019 and it's still running fine today.

I have been dealing with Matt for close to 7 years in Miami. Anytime I have an issue with his product, he guides me through it or replaces the unit. Great seller and a SOLID product.

I was very hesitant to purchase this product due to the review count on amazon however I read their website, although it was much more detailed than I expected, I learned a lot more about a powered anode that other sites have taught me. Other brands never show any details about their power supply or explain anything about how my 2 tanks are going to be protected from rusting out over the long term. I purchased one 2 years ago and my tank flushes clean every February so I have recently purchased 2 more for my rental and sister home. This is a worthy product and I can endorse it with confidence.

No need to pay for a higher priced brand that has leaking flaws or a lower priced brand that is nothing more than a gimmick, stick to a science based product which this is. My company installs close to 50 water heaters per month here in Michigan. 50% of the residences are in rural areas using non-treated water. I purchased 6 units in 2025 from Matt 1 year ago to test the results in some tanks of an apartment building I own. The sediment flush was reduced by 90% since I got rid of the aluminum anode and their no odor whatsoever. I did have 1 unit fail (red led flashing) and received a new controller 4 days later free of charge. This type of customer service this day and age is unprecedented. Great product and well worth the investment.

Well worth the time to research this brand compared to others, the features are stand alone. 2 years ago I bought the expensive brand for my home and had to replace the tank due to it leaking last year. I took the power supply apart, compared it to the Water Tank Tec brand and it was just like it is on his website, a cheap unit. I like the green and red led plus the buzzer since it is hard to see the power supply where my outlet is. I recently purchased an apartment building with 50 units and all have 40 gallon gas hot water tanks which I will be installing this product over time in each unit. Thanks very much Matt.

Hi Matt!
I am very pleased with your product and the upgrade to audible alarm you have. I also appreciate you helping me with some technical issues I had. I have purcahsed 2 more units for my parents and sisters home. Thank you very much Matt
Great Product (anonymous)
This arrived very quickly, and I appreciate the seller's communications (Matt).As others have said, removal of the old anode was by far the biggest headache.You MUST use a 6 point socket to avoid rounding it off.Installation of the new electrode was easy and it sealed perfectly.The power supply settled in at about 2.76 volts after an hour of operation.Our setup- 8 year old Rheem 50gal water heater and a water softener, well water.Don't neglect yours..!Nice product, great seller.Thanks!!!

I am a licensed plumbing contractor who follows a real estate developer. The developer installs 40 gallon AO smith tanks in these units, all electric. I purchased 5 units from Amazon at his request for tank corrosion protection testing. After 1 year of, water tank tec was the only unit that maintained the voltage and current to the anode. 2 of the units were dead, and ironically the highest price unit was the worst. 3 of them leaked although the green light was lit. I don’t have the time to contact anyone that sells a product that fails in 1 year for a replacement when all of their products failed. I purchase around 300 units from water tank tec a month. This product works for me and I do recommend it.

What amazing customer service. I accidentally broke the power cord to my waterodor.com power anode rod. I reached out to see if I could buy a new one and got a response from Matt. He sent a replacement - free of charge! Matt has been incredibly helpful, polite and professional. I will be a loyal customer for life and will share this fantastic brand with everyone I can. Absolutely outstanding!!

This is the highest quality powered Anode product. I like the quality better than the more expensive Corro-Protec. Look at their website at Water Tank Tec for this superior anode rod. The power supply is built better. The owner called me and helped me, when I had an installation glitch. I am only writing this to let others know it's a superior product for your water heater, and the business stands behind his product.
