We ordered this anode rod because of smelly water also. It says it is an aluminum rod in the description.

You need an aluminum/zinc rod to fight foul odors. The Camco 11582 is aluminum only; however, I see another person stated it solved his smelly water problem. Interesting.

Yes. It is a quality, commercial-grade heavy-weight aluminum item. The threaded part appears to be brass. There is also a rubber-type washer.

Yes... they said that their products were not lead free. There are some RV shut offs(a wye and a 45 degree) from Camco that are supposedly lead free, but require the CA warning because of something else... I wish they would say what specifically, but it can even be something that is only used during the manufacturing process for a plastic part(like CA wants to shame manufacturers for using dirty methods). Perhaps it is better to just use the plastic ones after an extended break in period...

Made of heavy duty plastic attached to metal...inside water system is aluminum. This is my second Ames reel to replace one that lasted 10 years. I love it!

I'm not 100% sure since I've already installed mine in a 10 Gal Suburban Water heater. But here is a description from eBay for this item: Anode Rod, Magnesium, #232767 This 9 1/4" magnesium anode rod screws into the water heater and protects the tank by attracting corrosive elements to itself. The anode rod corrodes instead of your tank. Part number 232767.

I think it is stainless. It was sent in a box & included the end caps. This rod still looks new & I use it for hanging wet clothes to dry. I would buy this rod again if I needed another.

I highly recommend you check the manual for your water heater before buying any rod. They have the same thread but are various lengths.

The rod is 90% Aluminum and 10% Zinc. It works great at eliminating smelly water and is the only zinc anode rod we carry.

I recommend the stainless version!!! cuz the rods are flexible, the water can go into the connections!

Rods are aluminum and to soft to harm hardened steal barrels. Same idea behind the brass brush it's softer then the hardened steal.

Sorry, but the Camco water heater element has a 1" NPT tapered thread. The outside diameter of the threads are 1.315 inches. According to Camco "EXCEPTION: For a period of time, State Industries manufactured a Duron brand heater that used a 1-3/8" thread. These elements are not interchangeable with the standard 1" threaded element.

Boiling chamber is made of stainless steel, not aluminum. Every once in a while, it might be smart to send white vinegar/water solution through the system, just as a precaution to prevent scaling in the water lines.

No this is not Zinc Chromate. Zinc Chro. is usually greenish in color. This product is recommended for aluminum above the water line however.

The fittings are metal, HOWEVER, the fitting connection that allows the reel to turn wore thru in under 1 year. The metal is such poor quality that it corroded in the first twelve months and a hole appeared (not rusted... corroded). This fitting is not something you can buy from either your local hardware store or plumbing supply house... it is a proprietary part for this unit.

The pole is aluminum so it can go in water. Not sure if that is what you are asking.

Personally, I would contact the manufacturer. I don't know if they sell the rod separately or not. Good Luck Lynn.
