And if you have a tank that slopes under the toidy, you won't see anything
until your tank is about half full. Our gray and black tanks each hold 53
gallons. Bathroom sink goes to the black tank. We can go two weeks with
reasonable showers.

We've never had any eruptions. The tank gauges lie like Bill & Hillary so
we don't trust 'em.

If he gets Rid-X from his black water tank into his water heater tank,
he's got much worse problems than losing an anode.

You missed the word, "IF".
