I used this in my hot tub and it works excellently. - I like this product, works exceptionally well and has a great heat out put for the wattage. Cuts our heating time down greatly so that we're using great energy to generate heat. Review: Great elements for the price, except for the rubber seal - I bought these to improve my water heater's response time. My water heater came with two 4500 watt elements that turn on separately. It has 8 gauge wiring and 40 amp breaker going to the water heater. So plenty of power available. In order to run these higher wattage elements I had to rewire my water heater with 10 gauge wiring. This was fairly easy, basically just disconnected the old wires and taped the new wires to them and pulled it through. These are nice stainless steel elements, and I've noticed a huge improvement in recovery. It seems fast enough actually that I haven't been running out of hot water like I used to. They are quieter in operation being low density. Basically the fold back design gives more surface area to spread the wattage out over which is supposed to make them not only quieter but reduce calcium deposits. One thing I do not like about these is the rubber seal, it's too soft and as it's tightened up it squeezes out of place and leaked. I tried several times trying to get it to seal properly and I thought I got it until the water was hot and it started leaking again. In the end I swapped the seals for the old ones and it sealed perfect the first time. ## Features - Low Watt Density Stainless Steel Foldback Heating Element - Foldback Heating Element provides 6500w 240v of power - Element is folded back to minimize length and maximize heated surfaces - Easy to Install and fits most Water Heater Models of American - Prevent dry firing, lime deposits, and sand that would burn out ordinary elements ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B06XWM8C4J | | Best Sellers Rank | #119,882 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #178 in Water Heater Replacement Parts | | Brand | DERNORD | | Brand Name | DERNORD | | Color | White | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 32 Reviews | | Manufacturer | DERNORD | | Material | Stainless Steel | | Material Type | Stainless Steel | | Model Number | 120v 1500w | | Number of Items | 1 | | Part Number | DERNORD-94 | | UPC | 611801475517 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Voltage | 240 volts | | Wattage | 6500 watts | ## Product Details - **Brand:** DERNORD - **Color:** White - **Material:** Stainless Steel - **Voltage:** 240 Volts - **Wattage:** 6500 watts ## Images ![240v 6500w Foldback Heating Element Water Heater with Low Watt Density - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51DauXcGiYL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great product and gets very hot.
