I've become the anode rod guy from hell, but all our water heaters are corrosion-safe now! It was worth the investment in the 3/8" drive with the special deep 1-1/16 socket.

I'm surprised at those efficiency ratings of 0.58 and 0.63. When we bought an electric heater a few years ago we found a 52-gallon high-efficiency model with a rating of 0.92, $200 followed by a $50 rebate from HECO. Maybe it's different for gas...
