: I have a contract with my local power company for my gas hot water heater, a year ago this month I had a water softener installed. I seen info. on the internet the salts in the water eats away anodes, I had a problem which apparently was the diptube. I inquired about the anode(to find out if there were any signs of one needing replacing) I was told no, I was told anodes would make the heater last forever BUT you cannot get anodes. Is this right? I cannot purchase the anode? Seems stupid if this is true.
