A heads-up for anyone with a Hot Water System that has a sacrificial anode - check them regularly.

I just did a "better-late-than-never "check on the HWS in my 7y.o Jayco poptop. I've owned it for 2 years but never thought to check it. Wow! It started life as a 10 inch x 1" dia rod of magnesium. There was NOTHING left of it and the tank was full of while mineral salt deposits and looked like hell.

As a side issue, I have also noticed that my domestic HWS has a similar anode. Before I start trying to pull that one out I thought I might check with anyone else who has any knowledge of these things.
