        "text": "Common signs that your anode rod may need replacing include a sulfuric or 'rotten egg' smell in your hot water, reduced hot water output, or discoloration of the hot water. These symptoms indicate increased corrosion in the tank or a depleted anode rod. If you notice these issues, it's advisable to contact a professional for an inspection, as continued operation with a failing anode rod can lead to irreparable tank damage and costly water heater replacement.",
