I had my Water softener serviced the other day, and I told them the water
had an odor. (like oil).
They tested the water, and said all was fine.
They said the smell was from the Hot Water Tank's Anode rod.
They also said the rod can be removed and left out, as it serves to prevent
problems from hard water not soft water.

Any ideas?

My HW tank (gas), is just a year old, and the other tank (electric), never
had this problem. I have had the water softener 5 years.

That confirms one question.
What about leaving it out??

That was answered there also. Leave it out and your tank will rust.

Read the article again. It tells you exactly what will happen if you
leave it out. It also tells you what to do if you have this problem...
