Hello everyone!

I have a SW6DE water heater from Suburban. I can't quite make out the label on the heater in regards to the right anode part replacement. I know there is magnesium and aluminum. I live in Wisconsin. Anyone know the right part number? I did search the forum and was surprised this question hasn't been asked, but that's probably because its obvious.

Thanks everyone,

You're welcome. I like Amazon because you can read a lot of customer reviews to help make your choice.

Good call. Fits perfect. Thanks. But while de-winterizing for an RV trip to Lambeau, I’ve discovered a leak in the straight stop valve off the water heater. I will post in a new thread. Thanks again.

(Generally) the MAGNESIUM is the proper ANODE for the suburban, UNLESS your water source develops a bad odor, then SWITCHING to the ALUMINUM (may) be of help? (From what I have read)
