How do you take anode rod out of water heater?
turn off water on cold inlet to heater. attach water hose to drain hosebib on front bottom of heater. turn on hosebib, then either open cold water flex line to create a vacuum so the tank will drain. then the anode rod will be the plug style behind the vent or sometimes in front of the vent. if no plug is found the anode rod is attached to the hot nipple usually found on ( a.o smith, bradeford whites and some rheems). remove anode you will notice if its corroded then replace same way anode was removed.
In a simple cell the cathode or the anode is more reactive?

Is a faulty water softener the cause of rust showing up in sinks toilets and tubs?
It is most likely the water heater. More specifically, the anode in the water heater likely needs to be replaced.
Can the water heater operate without a sacrafical annode?
Water heaters can operate without an anode rod. If tank is not made of steel, then no anode rod is present. If tank is made from steel or glass-lined steel, then anode rod is necessary for long life of tank. Without anode rod, water will rust tank causing leaks and possible failure where tank bursts open and floods house until water is turned off. Anode rods are made of lower noble metals than steel water heater tank. When the two metals are connected together, water reacts with lower noble metal first, so the water dissolves anode rod instead of rusting tank. Anode rods should be checked every two-four years, more frequently when water is softened. Factory-made, gas and electric, steel water heaters come with one or two anode rods installed. Tanks with longer warranties generally have two anode rods. Check manual for specifics. Adding a second anode rod can prolong life of water heater. Ship hulls and propellers, and steel bridges, and other structures that come in contact with water also have anode rods.

What is the lifespan of a hot water heater?
As a rule of thumb, 10 to 15 years is the expected useful lifetime. If yours is older than that, you need to replace it before it's too late. This all depends on whether the hot water heater has been installed correctly and whether the maintenance of it has been kept up to date. A well looked after hot water heater can last for many many years. A hot water heater is the same as a car, because if you maintain your car with regular services, it will be in good running order and last for years, its the same concept with a hot water heater. A secret to those not in the know, to help your ELECTRIC hot water heaters lifespan even more, make sure that the anode is replaced every 2 years, 95% of people who own hot water heaters never replace the anode resulting in burst hot water heaters and hot water heaters which don't last very long, replacing a hot water heater is expensive, replacing the anode every two years is not. Be wise.
What is a dip tube?
It's apparently a slang name in some parts of US for the anode of a H/W heater. This is a long rod that fits into the top of a heater to attract metallic impurities in the water.
What is the anode in a gas water heater?
The sacrificial anode in a Hot Water Tank takes most of the rusting problems away from the tank itself, hence the word "sacrificial!" When the anode has finished its course of use, you will get rusting happening on the walls of your tank which leads to a wrecked and leaking hot water tank. Manufacturers do NOT want home owners to know about these anodes, because if everyone replaced them there would not be any hot water tanks to replace.
