The replacement element must be the same voltage and wattage as the element being replaced. Never exceed the nameplate rating on the water heater.

Review: You may have to order a special socket unless you have a big toolbox. - It's hard to find a lower wattage like this one. It still does a good job, but it gives us 500 watts we can use somewhere else. Sometimes with the original 1500 watt unit, having the refrigerator on park power then turning on the microwave or air conditioner will sometimes cause the park circuit breaker to flip off. Using this unit solved all that.
Review: Excellent product - Worked perfectly

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent product

Worked perfectly

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Do not use in a water distiller.
*by G***. on July 12, 2019*

Not for use in a water distiller. I used it in the boiler tank of my dol-fyn water distiller, it lasted only 4 days. I learned that when the clean distilled water reservoir gets full, and the float tells the water distiller to shut off, it continues to boil the tank almost completely dry. This heater is smaller than the factory original and when the water level gets too low, one side of the heater gets exposed to the air. It immediately overheats and burns out. Now I know why the factory original part costs $60. This little heater worked great, and if it was installed in a small on-demand water heater, it would work perfectly. Just don't try to use it in a distiller.
