Hi folks,
I'm new here, but have been a DIY'er for a long time. I have a six year old AO Smith GCNH 40 200 water heater and I am recently getting a fair bit of corrosion material from my hot water faucets. I figured it's my anode. My problem is that I can't find where the anode is, and the manual isn't super clear. Attached are some pics and below is a link to the manual.
Anyone have experience with this model or similar? Is the anode under the hot water outlet? I removed the nipple to the hot water outlet, and I can't find an obvious next step. Is it under the T&P valve? I hope not because that looks like a pain to remove and replace.

Thanks,
