if it's electric, start by shutting off power to the water heater. you'll only forget that part once.

Why would you impact the new rod back into the tank. It’s not going anywhere ? And don’t you have to open a faucet to get the water to flow better

I just had my water heater replaced so I'm taking notes. altho the previous one lasted 24.5 years with most likely no maintenance. so I'm not too too worried since we have really clean water where I leave

Make sure to use an aluminum anode rod if you have a water softener

DO NOT turn off the water without turning off the heating source. You could cause an explosion.

Does every gas water heater have an anode rod? I’ve looked on top of mine and done see the cap. There is like two or three circular labels the same size but haven’t taken them off.
