Checking the sacrificial anode is easy, and (depending) should be done every three years. (According to the website below). On standard water heaters the anode can be checked by unscrewing it from the top. It'll be almost as long as the heater, and if it won't extract from the water heater, then it's working!
Our water heater is 26 years old and have never checked the anode--I'd better get busy!
Have you priced a new water heater at Home Depot?
