Eric Aune breaks down three practical upgrades he recommends for tank-style water heater installations: a full-port drain valve, an automatic leak-detection shutoff, and a powered anode rod. He explains how a full-flow drain makes it easier to remove sediment from the tank, while a leak sensor can automatically shut off the water supply if the tank begins to fail. Aune also discusses how powered anode rods provide additional corrosion protection and can help address odor issues associated with well water. He briefly covers a tank tee for thermal expansion tanks and the installation considerations surrounding these water heater components.
