It's a sacrificial metal rod inside the tank that corrodes instead of the tank's steel lining. When it's used up the tank itself starts giving way. Checking it is part of what a service visit on an older heater covers.

It clears loose sediment off the bottom, which helps efficiency and can add life on a tank that's been maintained. On a badly neglected tank it sometimes reveals a drain valve that no longer seals. That's a reason to have it done rather than attempted.

That's water flashing to steam under a layer of sediment on the tank floor. The noise means the burner is heating sludge instead of water. It's a symptom of a tank well into its second half.

For a tank in a finished basement or over living space, planning the replacement usually costs less trouble than a failure does. Homes around Salem and Humboldt with heaters past their teens are the ones worth scheduling. Age plus hard water is the combination to watch.
