I've been thinking about that anode. I had it out during install..

Since the top is flat, that means it's aluminum. (A bump on top = magnesium).
Because of the location of the A7, I'm not sure I have the clearance to unscrew it, or get it out, once I got it loose..
Maybe I'll wait until I get the leaking stopped. I do want to make sure it's good,
since I don't want my heating elements causing voltage in the water..
The one thing I do not like about this anode thing, is the idea of dissolving aluminum
into the water we are drinking and cooking with..
We got rid of those aluminum pots for a reason, right?
