Replacement Anode Rod for Suburban SW10DE Water Heater
Question:
Not clear to me which Camco water heater anode rod is right for my Suburban SW10DE water heater.
asked by: Mike
Expert Reply:
The correct Camco anode rod for your Suburban SW10DE water heater is part # CAM11563. You can confirm beforehand simply by comparing dimensions. This aluminum rod measures 3/4-inch diameter and 9-1/2-inches long. Aluminum anodes will tend not to cause the odors in your hot water that can arise with magnesium anodes.
Many plumbers prefer magnesium anodes because they produce a stronger current making them more effective at keeping the water tank from corroding. Aluminum rods collect a buildup of corrosive materials that harden and make taking them out for inspection or replacement a challenge. Magnesium may react with bacteria causing a sulfurous smell. Aluminum rods don’t have this problem as often.
