Many are attracted to the low maintenance or its ability to work in any water conditions. Others are desperate for a solution to get rid of their stinky water. Some might still be put off by the price, or even just by the fact that they are supposed to work in all conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yet, the price of these devices is often a sticking point for people. So, the big question hangs in the air&mdash;are powered anodes worth it? Or is it all marketing hype? Powered rods are capable of doing all that they are said to, but their &ldquo;worth&rdquo; will depend on what it is you value.

Ideally, a powered anode will be able to last for your water tank&rsquo;s entire lifespan.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is largely possible due to the fact that the portion of the rod that comes in contact with water is made with titanium, a conductive and highly corrosion-resistant material.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These rods <a href=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/how-powered-anode-rods-work\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"14287\">make use of a minor electrical current to keep corrosion at bay<\/a> and prevent the build-up of mineral deposits (limescale) on the anode and the tank. Powered anode rods are able to automatically adjust the current&rsquo;s power to your home&rsquo;s water conditions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sacrificial Anode Rods<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Sacrificial anode rods are only meant to last a few years before replacement. They are made of metals that are more reactive than the material of your tank, keeping corrosion at bay by attracting corrosive elements to themselves instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"537\" src=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/image.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-34940\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/image.png 640w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/image-300x252.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"537\" src=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/image.png.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-34940 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/image.png.webp 640w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/image-300x252.png.webp 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/image.png\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-2\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>They are typically made from either magnesium or aluminum.

Zinc anodes are generally used for well water or water with an <a href=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/anode-rod-well-water-fix-smell\/\">eggy smell<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Powered vs Sacrificial Anode Rods<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&rsquo;s start getting into the nitty-gritty. More specifically, let&rsquo;s first take a closer look at the cost and maintenance differences between powered and sacrificial rods, as these are likely two of the most important factors in your decision.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cost Difference<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Depending on what kind of rod you buy, the cost will vary greatly even among sacrificial rods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Aluminum anode rods are the cheapest and can be found for $15-25. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Zinc anodes are slightly pricier at around $25-40.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Magnesium rods are the most expensive at anywhere from $30-70.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Powered anode rods are much more expensive than any of these, usually found at around $150. They also do have a running cost, though this is allegedly less than $2 a year.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, while powered anodes may have a higher upfront cost, they may actually be cheaper in the long run, depending on your situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you replace your anode rods yourself and only need to replace them every 5 years, using aluminum or zinc rods will likely be cheaper than a powered rod over a 20-year period. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, if you are replacing your rods any more frequently than that, a powered rod is actually an equivalent or cheaper option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, it&rsquo;s important to take into account <a href=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/anode-rod-replacement-cost\/\">how much anode rod replacement costs<\/a> if you do not do so yourself. While prices will vary, <strong>it is likely you will need to pay a plumber between $200 and $300 per anode replacement.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Table Summary<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Powered Anode Rods<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Sacrificial Anode Rods<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>They can last up to 20 years.<\/td><td>They can last a range of 1-5 years.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>The cost can be up to $170.<\/td><td>They often cost about $15-$45.&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>The rod does not corrode.&nbsp;<\/td><td>The rod corrodes and must be replaced about every 5 years.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>They are suited for hard water and maybe soft water.<\/td><td>Depending on the type, they can be suited for hard, soft, and well\/smelly water.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>The current rectifier must be plugged into an outlet.<\/td><td>No electric charge is needed.&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Maintenance Comparison<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Powered anode rods, due to their long-term design, shouldn&rsquo;t need any major maintenance unless something goes wrong and the rod fails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, sacrificial rods will need full-out replacement every 3-5 years, on average. Depending on the quality and content of the water in your home, however, replacement may be needed more frequently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On top of this, sacrificial rods are designed to corrode and rust. This does create the potential for your anode to seize, or become stuck due to corrosion near the threads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/tips-remove-seized-anode-rod\/\">seized anode<\/a> will increase the time and effort needed to replace the rod. You may need to invest in equipment, like an <a href=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/anode-rod-removed-impact-wrench\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"9761\">impact wrench<\/a>, so the cost could increase. The cost would also be higher if you are paying someone to remove the seized anode for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Comparing Performance<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Based on the water content as well as any specific problems the water might have, such as smell, a sacrificial anode rod may work better than a powered anode rod and vice versa.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"729\" src=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/A-man-holding-a-anode-damaged-from-corrosion.-In-the-background-the-boiler-and-a-view-of-the-lawn.-Close-up.-comparing.jpg.webp\" alt=\"A man holding a anode damaged from corrosion.

Yes, the rod would &ldquo;last&rdquo; longer, but it will not fully achieve its purpose and the water heater tank&rsquo;s life would be shortened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>As far as how a powered anode rod would fare, they would handle the conditions just fine but with&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/powered-anode-rod-vs-magnesium\/\">no added advantages, unlike magnesium rods<\/a>, which might add health benefits to the water.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When deciding between magnesium and powered anode rod for softened water, it is wise to consider costs, durability, and maintenance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Smelly or Well Water<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The best type of sacrificial anode rod for smelly or well water would have to be aluminum\/zinc anode rods.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The inclusion of&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/anode-rod-well-water-fix-smell\/\">zinc handles unpleasant smells<\/a>. Aluminum would also help in the case of well water since it often has higher levels of dissolved minerals, which would liken well water to hard water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Powered anode rods would also be good in a smelly\/well water scenario, as most models also claim to be able to kill the bacteria that produce the smell.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Powered Anodes Have a Long Lifespan<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Sacrificial anode rods are literally designed to wear away over time. While aluminum rods tend to last longer than magnesium ones, you are still only looking at an effective lifespan of 3-5 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As such,&nbsp;<strong>powered anode rods are clearly triumphant when it comes to lifespan. Some popular models are made to last more than twenty years!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If for whatever reason, they do not, and you have complied with the terms of the warranty, your powered anode rod could be replaced for free within the first twenty years.
