I didn't catch the part about 'aluminum'..
Will give that a try.

I think you're being suckered/misinformed by the water softener company
myself.

Guess I will pull the anode rod to see if it is bad.
I would think the anode rod should last more than a year.

FWIW, my water heater was put in, in 1978. I doubt that it has any anode
tube left; still works good and no rust. I suppose if I had acidic water it
would be desirable to maintain it, but we have "normal" water (average PH).

If your water is acidic enough to need a anode, consider what other harm
it's doing to your appliances and piping.

How, exactly, are you going to make that determination other than visual
examination of obvious damage? I would be interested. My water is blessed
with hydrogen sulfide. I use an aerator to eliminate that. I would be
interested in what to note in examining an anode for possible failure.
