Pete,

Sure - but *I* don't want to yak about it anymore was my point, so I'm not.

[over-the-shoulder-toss] ...your anode/dielectric comments are exactly right. Using dielectric pipe unions is a good idea - at the very worst harmless, and possibly required by local codes - but have nothing to do with tank anodes. The magnesium anodes are "commercial grade", work better than the cheaper aluminum anodes, and are less worriesome re: adding trace amounts of aluminium salts to the potable water for those who are concerned about the matter... and now I'm quits on the topic! (it's too work-related for my mood right now). Y'all go ahead and discuss home improvement all you want, NP. <img src="/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> [lurk mode on]
