At our last house we switched from LP to natural gas the year before we moved.
Our water heater was just under 20 years old and I was considering trying to
convert it (apparently not an option for most

Water heaters are steel with a heavy galvanized coating. So I presume the
anode keeps the inside galvanizing in good shape.

Boats, outboard motors, water heaters. Most (all?) are made from
zinc. On outboards we called them the sacrificial plate.

Boat anodes are zinc. They form a self galvanizing electrolytic cell that heal
any bare steel scratches in the hull coating.

There's usually a bolt looking thing on the top which is actually the end
of the anode.
The real purpose of the anode is to attract all the corrosive crap and
corrode so your tank doesn't. Once it is fully corroded, you can either
replace it, or the alternative is that your tank gets to corrode
both electric and gas, it may not be in the hot output it could be a
separate pop off tab on top thats covered with foam, do some googling for
your make/model and where your anode is located.

I dont think Ive ever seen an anode on a water heater, inlet, outlet,
popoff, burner, thermocouple, drain. Is that a new thing? I havent put in a
new water heater in a long time, or is that for electric?

If you are going to put a tank one in again make sure to replace the Anode
rod with a DC powered one. If you check your existing heater does the rod
even exist or has it corroded away (It is supposed to protect the tank from
corrosion)? We had two 40 gal heaters replaced about 8 months ago,

Steve, no feces involvement here but I've been looking into water heaters
quite a bit for a project.
For the hard water, instead or in addition to the water softener you may
want to look into putting one of these into your hot water path.

You'll need to de-scale a tankless with hard water or the heat exchanger
will become clogged. You'd put in
water will be a problem though.
