What does anybody think about using a water heater tank for a boil kettle or a mlt?
the inside of a water tank is coated with an enamel coating much like enamel coated cookware. The anode is to help with excessive buildup that will possibly degrade that material and the plumbing. I figure that since with a boil kettle it will be open and only in use for couple hours at a time then cleaned out. I actually cut the top off a water heater tank to inspect though the tank i did this to was used and the material inside had degraded somewhat and began rusting in spots.... it also was 20 years old... i have just come across another but have yet to remove the top.. much newer.. only seven years old.
