Anode Rod replacement, Rotten Egg Smell FIX, Corro Protec, Rheem Water Heater. DIY.

We recently changed our water heater about 2 years ago. About 2-3 months later, we noticed a bad smell coming out from the hot water faucet more so than the cold water faucet. After months of trying to figure this out, it came down to the water from the water heater.
We live in a well and not using a municipal source.

Here in this video, I try my best to go through the steps of changing out the anode rod and using a newer rod to reduce lime scale and fixing the malodorous putrid smell of the water. Though harmless to some degree, it just was not appealing at all.

I was not paid to use any product(s) in this video

Corro-protec is the product I chose that would best suit my needs to rectify this problem. If you decide to use this product, please use the right size for your water heater.

As a DIY-er, this project would have taken me about 1-2 hours, but because I did not have the appropriate tools, I needed to goto my Big BOX stores to purchase them. So after about 2 cold showers at 10 degree weather, I was finally complete.

Things you will need are
1. garden hose
2. pliers, long needle nose
3. 1 1/16 socket wrench
4. 30 mm socket wrench
5. screw drivers
6. 5 gallon bucket
7. socket wrench
8. teflon tape
9. PATIENCE
10. more PATIENCE
11. IMPACT WRENCH, not Impact driver as it would not give much force to remove the anode rod bolt.
12. flashlight
