We moved into a rual home and had horrific smelling hot water odor. We have a 40 gallon AO smith unit. I found this product and decided to give it a try. My husband and his brother help him remove what they called the 'stink rod' and installed it. The instructions were clear and well written. My husband followed the recomendation of flushing our tank, turning up the thermostat to 140 overnight then back down the next day. It has been around 1 month and there is no odor at all. We are very pleased.

I moved into a brand new house with a well, whole house R.O. ,softener and chlorine injection. We had sulfur smell even with top of the line purification equipment. After several weeks of trying to make adjustments to the system with no relief, we narrowed it down to the hot water. We have a Rheem Classic Plus Professional water heater. The specs show it having a magnesium anode rod. After doing a little homework, I found waterodor.com and with the reviews I decided to try it. The directions are very easy to follow and it was not hard to install. The toughest part is getting the old anode rod out but it came out quite easily with a battery powered impact wrench to just loosen it. There's an outlet next to the water heater so it was easy to connect to a power source. I did not flush the heater, but I did turn the temperature up to 140 degrees overnight before I installed the new rod. Within a day of use, the smell was gone. It's been in two months now and we haven't had a sulfur smell problem since. My neighbor had the same problem and has the same water heater. He changed the anode rod to an aluminum anode and says the sulfur smell had stopped, but he will have to replace it eventually.

I am incredibly happy with this product. We use them for our rental properties, God Bless

Did not do any good on my tank. Tank started leaking 2 days after I installed it from the bottom. I bought the corro product brand and it sealed my leaks. I now have a brand new water tank with no smell.

I was skeptical about this product since I had purchased a different brand on amazon which did nothing but trash my water tank by leaks. I was moving anyway and the tank was old so not a real loss.

I offer this review 60 days from my purchase. I am pleased so far and will purchase other for my rentals. Your website has a lot of good information and I appriciate that. I will say that your claim of monitors the tank is correct. After my softner cycled, the voltage lowered, 2 days later it went back up since my unit cycles every 3 days.

Thank you Matt

I followed the recommendations to crank up the tank temperature to kill bacteria. Drained off maybe 5 gallons to install the new anode. Installation was simple following some of the photos and info from the website. Big plus is to have an impact gun, no need to wrestle with the tank and breaker bar. So far water has no odor but to be honest I’m not sure if it is from the anode or the bacteria kill. If it comes back I will follow up.

This product does work as described. Purchased from Amazon May 29th and had it 3 days later. I was going to give it some time before a review. As of this date June 25th, I am very pleased. I would recomend. Thank You Matt! Jim and Becky!! :)

I have been buying this product for 2 years. I had 2 complaints of a red led in June. Contacted Matt, found out it was a bad led on the power supply. 4 days later I had the replacement boxes. This type of customer service is solid.

Works as advertised, no odor whatsoever for 3 months. Brian.

Purchased in May 2014. Last week hubby noticed the green light was off, plugged in, green light stayed off but the red light flickerer on when I plugged it in. Contacted seller. New power plug came 2 days later and all is well now. I figured they would be out of busness by now but not and i am shocked they sent us another replacement. Never had this type of customer experiance 7 years after my purchase from anyone, never. Thank you very much Matt

Very happy, worked for our home.

This product rocks and so does the seller! Crap water smell, waisted money on other amazon crap. No problems since installed 3 months ago. Thanks Matt! Kim and Erin :)

I own a plumbing company and install close to 30 water tanks a month. I have recently used this product for customers complaining of hot water odor smells. I have purchased close to 50 units since march 2021. I have a better customer base because of this product and now buy from this site for the volume discount. I would recommend this product.

Thanks for getting back to us so quickly Matt. Our heater is up and running again, and the install of your product was a piece of cake. I had anticipated the old anode would be depleted (tank is 2 years 4 months old and we have softened water) but found it was only partially so. That makes me feel very hopeful that we will get extra years out of it now that your product is "in charge" of the tank. Again, thanks for your impressively responsive, timely replies. Never before have I felt so complimentary towards someone who has got me in hot water!

Have a bountifully blessed week.

I am a retired engineer from GM in the electronics division. I purchased 2 systems from Amazon that had great reviews. 1.2Vdc and .05Vdc were the readings to the anode current after 2 months. 3 months later the power unit went out on one unit, the other was .2Vdc. When I removed the anode, the black coating was flaking off. No chemical eching was noticed on the rod which told me this is a very cheap product.

I purchased the water tank tec system 3 months ago for both of my tanks. Each tank is an A.O. Smith short 50 gallon unit. Each week I tested both tanks. #1 2.43Vdc and #2 2.47Vdc consistant voltage on each tank.

This product performs as described.

Our situation. Our home has well water and chews through anode rods every 4 months. In the month of October 2020, we found corro protect on Amazon and purchased it. The odor was gone 2 days later and we were very pleased. I will never forget the time, on December 24th my husband noticed the power supply was flikering of and on. We called the seller water connection who sold the item to us on Amazon. We were told to contact corro protec. We called their 800 number and were told it was out of warranty for a return but they sent us another led box. It faild 2 weeks later with no light this time. I asked for a money back and was told it was beyond the return window. My husband said we are going back to the anode rod.

I contacted water tank tec on Amazon and after several emails, decided to buy this companies product which was a lot less than the corro protect product. I can say as of this review April 24. 2021 I and hubby are very pleased.

I will mention 2 things, great customer service by water tank tec, terible with corro protect and amazon. We tried to leave a review on amazon which is the site we purchased water tank tec from but it was never posted.

I will leave you this reveiew since we along with Janet your other customer could not leave a review on amazon. Here is our story. My hubby and I just moved into our home after a 8 month build. We noticed our hot was had a very strong odor. Our salesman told us it was normal for well water. After some research we decided to purchase the Corro Protec system for both our heaters in February of this year. About a month later our well expansion tank developed a leak which was a simple fix however the water heaters were hot on the outside. My Husband found out both electric anodes were leaking from the top. Since our home has a warranty for 1 year, we contacted our salesman. We found out that since we added this part, they would not cover it. We contacted Corro Protec 3 times and never received a response. We contacted Amazon and was told it was a seller fullfilled item and their was nothing they can do. We had to purchase 2 new tanks and the odor was just as bad as the start.

In March we read your website and felt confident about a purchase. My hubby was able to install both units with help from our neighbor. To this date we have no leaks and our water has no odor. I do want to mention that hubby did drop one of the power supplies durng the installation and cracked the corner of it but it still worked. I contaced Matt asking him if it was OK and he sent us a new power supply the next day at no cost.

I would have never thought in a million years he would do this for us since it was our fault, you just dont get this type of service these days. My hubby and I recomend this product for anyone wanting a well built systems with AWESOME customer service! Thanks you so much Matt!!!

I just wanted to say thank you very much for answering our questions and your timely responses. We are very pleased with your product sinces its installation and have recomended your product as well to our freinds. I am leaving this review with you to post since Amazon will not post my review on your site. I left it over a month ago and it still has not appeared. I have told others about this as well. Thank you Matt for the customer service, I have never had such one on one with a seller before. May you prosper, Janet

I upsell this product to my customers. I have never had a complaint.

Works as described. The odor was gone in 24 hours and that was 3 years ago from our initial Purchase. We bought 2 more systems for our new home. Flushed the tank of our initial purchase last week and no rust colored water was seen. This product works!
