It's probably possible to:
-Kill the house water supply (make sure the main shut off works 100% before going further!).
-Drain pipes from lowest point.
-Remove plastic crap.
-Replace with brass drain valve.
-There may be an electrolysis spacer and/or reducer sleeve required.
-Do it on a monday week off so the stores are open.
-Fill plenty of buckets before (or have a nice pool handy for the lucky some of us).
-Have other water options available in case the pros are needed.

The anodized rods only last 3-5 yrs I think.
I just drained my heater and got numerous buckets before the water was running clear again.
Rusty water affects laundry..
