Lochinvar & A.O. Smith 100210012 Anode
As a veteran technician, you know that sacrificial rods are a constant maintenance headache, especially in high-demand residential and commercial applications. The Lochinvar & A.O. Smith 100210012 Powered Anode is a specialized impressed current cathodic protection solution designed to replace standard magnesium or aluminum rods. Measuring .118DIA x 7.87 inches, this titanium powered anode uses a continuous electrical current to neutralize corrosive elements within the tank. Unlike sacrificial alternatives, this non-depleting anode rod provides permanent water heater corrosion protection without the need for periodic replacement. It is particularly effective for systems running on softened water or in regions with high sulfur content, as it actively eliminates the "rotten egg" odors caused by sulfate-reducing bacteria. Engineered for specific A.O. Smith and Lochinvar tank compatibility, this 100210012 kit ensures structural integrity for the long haul, maintaining the glass lining and preventing pinhole leaks in 30 to 120-gallon units.
Key Benefits for Contractors:
- Permanent Tank Protection: The 100210012 anode utilizes a non-sacrificial titanium rod that does not dissolve, eliminating the need for future rod inspections.
- Odor Elimination: Effectively kills anaerobic bacteria to stop hydrogen sulfide gas production, solving "smelly water" complaints permanently.
- Softened Water Ready: Provides superior cathodic protection in aggressive water conditions where traditional magnesium rods degrade prematurely.
- OEM Precision Fit: Designed as a direct Lochinvar genuine replacement part for exact tolerance and secure seal.
- Maintenance Reduction: Lowers the total cost of ownership for the end-user by removing the recurring expense of sacrificial rod swaps.
Common Questions:
Is the 100210012 compatible with all A.O. Smith models?
This specific .118" diameter, 7.87" long rod is designed for specific residential and light commercial tanks. Always verify your model number and tank capacity (typically 30-120 gallons) to ensure the power module and harness align with your control board or external power source.
Does a powered anode require a dedicated power outlet?
Yes, the system operates on a steady DC current converted from a standard 120V AC outlet. The kit includes the necessary module to provide the precise amperage required to maintain the tank's voltage potential.
Can I use this to replace a rod attached to the hot water outlet?
No, this unit is designed to fit standard hex-head anode ports. If your system uses a combination heat trap/anode on the nipple, additional plumbing modifications may be required.
