      Call the water heater manufacturer and explain the situation to them….If you have any water analysis give the info to them….You may have to have the water analysis….bottom line is that some anode rods react to some water elements and create an odor. Being that it is a new heater they may be cooperative and help you out. If not, remove the anode and see if the smell goes away. Actually you may want to do this first and then you will know exactly what you are talking about…..Good Luck
