Reliance 6 50 DORT

Reliance 6 50 DORT 606 Series 55 Gallon Electric Water Heater Reliance 6 50 DORT. Great price, and looks nice, but the anode rod, which determines the life of the tank is only 28" long. It should be at least 44 or 48 inches long. And its aluminum, which may poison your water should you use it in cooking. I am changing to a 48" magnesium rod. The factory rod is perfectly designed to last about 3 years, so the tank should blow out around 6.1 years.Since the new rod is only 13$ its still a good buy. Made in Mexico, unfortunately and sloppy work - the anode covered with pipe dope its entire length, and lots of metallic particles - no clean up of fitting before installation.I paid $239 for mine. Now ... Dual 4500 watt heating elements Factory installed Temperature and Pressure, T&P relief valve . » More Information...
