A Smarter Way to Fight Corrosion
A traditional anode rod is made of a metal that slowly sacrifices itself to protect your tank from corrosion. The Corro-Protec powered anode rod uses a small electrical current instead of sacrificing itself, providing continuous protection without the need for replacement.

Powered Protection Inside Your Tank
The Corro-Protec powered anode rod uses a low voltage electrical current to prevent corrosion, eliminate sulfur odors, and reduce scale buildup — all without sacrificing the rod itself.
A Cleaner, Longer-Lasting Solution
IS CORRO-PROTEC RIGHT FOR YOUR WATER HEATER?
Find The Right Model for Your System
Not all water heaters are the same, and neither are their anode rods. Corro-Protec offers different powered anode rod models based on your water heater's tank capacity and anode configuration, so you get a solution built for your specific system rather than a one-size-fits-all fix.
Our team can walk you through which model fits your setup, help determine the best option for your home, and ensure the unit is installed correctly for long-term, worry-free protection.
GOOD TO KNOW! The Corro-Protec powered anode rod is an additional option for standard water heaters and is installed on a dedicated anode port (40–89 gallons). If your tank doesn't already have a dedicated port, our technicians can evaluate your system and let you know what's needed to get set up.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Does installing Corro-Protec qualify as proper water heater maintenance and keep my tank warranty valid ?
Yes. Replacing a sacrificial anode with a compatible, properly installed Corro-Protec Powered Anode Rod is standard anode maintenance, not a prohibited modification. Manufacturers typically require regular anode inspection and replacement when the sacrificial anode is depleted to maintain the manufacturer’s warranty.
Warranty protection also depends on applicable law. In the U.S., the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act generally prevents a manufacturer from denying coverage solely because an aftermarket part was used. In Canada, provincial consumer protection laws apply. In both cases, a third-party part generally becomes a warranty issue when it causes or contributes to the failure, not simply because it was installed.
-
Is the Corro-Protec Powered Anode Rod Certified and Safe to Use?
Yes. Corro-Protec meets recognized North American standards for safety and water quality.
- Water Quality Certification: Tested and certified by the Water Quality Association against NSF/ANSI/CAN 372, confirming the product is lead-free and safe for potable water systems.
- Power Supply Safety Certification: Conforms to UL Std. 1310, certified to CSA Std. C22.2 No. 223, ETL Intertek 5003982, ensuring the power supply meets strict electrical safety standards.
The system is engineered to operate safely and efficiently, using less than $3 of electricity per year.

What Overhead Clearance Do I Need to Install a Corro-Protec?
The Corro-Protec powered anode rod is only 12 inches tall, so in most cases you’ll only need about a foot of vertical clearance to install it on your water heater. This makes it easy to fit in basements, closets, or tight utility spaces.
If you need to remove your old sacrificial anode rod, keep in mind it’s usually much longer and may require extra space. If clearance is limited, the rod can be cut into sections during removal without affecting your installation.
Once the old rod is out, installing the Corro-Protec is quick and easy, even in confined areas.
-
What is the annual power consumption of a Corro-Protec Powered Anode Rod?
Our powered anode uses very little electricity. Internal testing confirms that its operating cost remains extremely low throughout the year. Since the amount of current can vary slightly depending on the water quality in your region, exact consumption may differ from one household to another. On average, our best-selling powered anode rod consumes about $2-$3 in electricity per year.
Overall, by reducing scale and sediment buildup, our powered anode rod saves up to 10% in water heating energy costs each year which is an average of US $40 in United States. In Canada, the estimated savings are $30 CAD due to lower energy cost. Estimated savings after one year of installation, based on internal testing and independent sources. Results may vary depending on the water heater unit, water quality, and usage patterns.
