Is the annode aluminium or magnesium?

I am not 100% sure, however I am fairly positive it is magnesium. The other rheem hot water heaters I have had in the past were magnesium. Occasionally after some time we would have to pull the rod and cut it off due to significant deterioration due to the water condition. Hope this helps.

Sorry, do not know. If you find out, let me know. So far we love it and it is a very good Hot Water heater.Name brand, build to last. Best wishes, Eva

Aluminum. They work excellent! I did a few test runs only filling one or two until I figured out the amount of batter that worked best for my recipe. The doughnut holes were very good. I have 2 sets.

I have welded plate and aluminum with mine. I purchased the spool gun also. It welds very good on either one. I'm using 100% argon with the aluminum. I'm very pleased and do recommend.

I didn't see it mentioned but almost for sure no. Look for dome transitioning solution to bond the al with cu before the wire nut

Aluminum, great quality too! It has a rubber retainer inside to hold shells snug. I sanded them down a little so the shells come out easier.

If original anode was aluminum 3 years , magnesium 5 years. A lot has to do with water quality and mineral content. Cost is so small that you can justify replacing the anodes more frequently to maximize protection from corrosion. My experience aluminum 90 percent gone in 4 years magnesium 15 percent.

Those parts are not pure aluminum, their is lead in the metal. My coating came off and exposed the actual metals. see my recent review. This is very dangerous lead based metal.

I threw the box without looking at the brand.However it is full aluminium and works A+. My temperature gage remains less than a quater.

Aluminum. FYI: Also is very small! Only 2 1/2" across ears and 2" highest point of ears.

The ones I received were aluminum with a glass lens. The housing was very well made. I have only had failures at the socket (where there is a lot of heat). I now use LED bulbs that generate much less heat. This is a good setup and a good value.

Aluminum with a nonstick coating. Magnet won't stick and not a ceramic or plastic.

Google welding chart.you can use .035 or .030. Just feed and temp settings are different.Use 100 percent Argon with aluminum.Good luck

It is metal and lightweight. So I assume it is aluminum. But I'm not certain, sorry.

The original is aluminium and the replacement is cast iron. We bought two because of this

I don't believe anything was aluminum, the screw was stainless steel. It didn't fit the boat I was using so I gave it away.

It is NOT aluminum. This thing is HEAVY-DUTY. It lifts my full dresser with no sweat. Glad I choose this one!

it is pure magnesium in size of angstrom ion...to get detailed info on this, go to Mother's Earth Minerals home website and they explain in detail how it works
