What device directs incoming water to the lower part of a water tank?

Anode rod
Unitrol
Dip tube
Invertube

The correct answer is: Dip tube

The device that directs incoming water to the lower part of a water tank is known as the dip tube. This is a crucial component within water heating systems, such as tanks or heaters, as it ensures that the incoming cold water enters the tank at the bottom. This allows the warmer water at the top to be drawn off for use, maintaining efficiency in heating and ensuring that there is a ready supply of hot water when needed. The design of the dip tube helps to maintain the proper temperature stratification within the tank, which is essential for the efficient operation of a water heater. The other options do not serve this specific function; for instance, anode rods prevent corrosion, while Unitrol and Invertube do not relate to directing water flow within a tank.
