Eastman 60054 Water Heater Element

Worked great an rrived fast, fixed my problem

My power company started charging for KW peak demand. This easily keeps up with my one shower a day needs and shaved a couple dollars off my bill. I have wired it for 375 watts @ 120 volts and use a timer to run it in the middle of the night.

Fit perfectly in 40 gallon heater. Water gets hot fast. What else do you need.

Element burned out in 4 months of use

I used 2 of these in my short 40 gallon 240 volt water heater that had 4500 watt elements. I recently installed a 5000 watt Inverter to use with solar and Lithium battery backup. I tried to figure out how to use the solar to heat my water heater and run several other things with only a 5000 watt inverter and 3 lithium batteries of about 15,000 watt hours. I replaced the 4500 watt with these 1500 watt, and its working just fine. They take longer to heat the water, but that's not been a problem--so far. I hope to add a high efficiency mini split heat pump that the inverter should be able to handle, since I only have 1500 watt elements now, and the other loads are not that great, being 3 small refrigerators, and a freezer, and some other items, such as lights and computer equipment.
