  • Lasted
I purchased these to replace identical make and model elements that were installed in a Richmond water heater about 8 years ago. The previous elements held up well, despite being supplied with softened water that was originally 400ppm (24 grains) hardness. The existing elements did have a 3/16 inch heavy coating of mineral deposits when I removed them (and they still functioned, albeit not as well has they would have if I had replaced them earlier). Related comments about water heater maintenance: 1. I replace the sacrificial anode in my water heater with a new magnesium rod about every 5-7 years, as needed. Heating elements can corrode and fail quickly if the anode has been consumed. 2. The actual wattage supplied by these "4500w 240v" elements is about 3700w @ 240v. For those who are inexperienced with the conventions used in nameplate ratings, heating elements typically perform at a wattage about 82% of nameplate value to account for installations where the supply voltage may be up to 110% of nominal (i.e. by design, the elements actually supply 4500w of heat at 264v and only 3700w at 240v). ... show more
