| Anodes:  Just be sure that your anode is a simple bolt type.  My
Bradford-White anode is integrated into the hot water outlet pipe.  The
manufacturer got me to a mail order supply house that was reasonably priced.
Yeah, as Doug stated, really flush that sucker.  Remove the existing valve
or replace it for the flush.
www.Waterheaterrescue.com was a very informative site.
Your local, non-big box store will have anodes and they will have
thermocouples for your gas fired devices too.
