@KSM32 or any other "work on stuff" folks,
Serious question that Google ain't helping me with...
My anode rod refuses to budge. 4ft breaker bar and cooling the tank down to maybe 100°.
I am a bit worried because my 2-3 month 5-gallon purge came up perfectly clear this time. No sediment. Normally, I would get blue speckles in a white granular sediment at the bottom of the bucket.
Although I've thought of liquid wrench, I don't feel confident that multiple flushes would get all of that out.
