    Do all water haters have a magnesium rod in them

    They are called anode rods and every heater has one to protect the tank. They can be either aluminum, or magnesium depending on the mineral content of the water.
    Did that answer your question? Regards, Tom

    This applies to tank type heater, a tankless heater will not have a sacrificial anode or stink rod. Why do you ask?

    Thanks for the backup Bob! I tried to rate you but it wouldn't let me. Thanks, Tom PS. I'm not even going to rag on you about the weather I see on TV in your area. Stay warm, Tom
