not sure of the quality of the water in your area, but yes, if it is high in iron, calcium, magnesium and PH level, the heat exchangers will fade quite rapidly, IF... you do not use a SUITABLE WHOLE HOUSE water softener. very noticeable in the brown marks left in you sinks, etc and if its really bad...rotten egg smell from time to time. In terms of, removing your anode?... hmmmm...it acts as the fall guy in your tank, and removing that will destroy the internals quite rapidly. Well water is notorious for that. An RO ( reverse osmosis) system fixes that problem. It removes everything. again, the up front costs will save you the hassles later down the road. At least we dont have to deal with salt water. Thats a whole different bucket of waterI phoned my plumber today. In our area, he said the on demand systems, due to our water composition, plug up really fast. His suggestion was to steer away from them.
