I installed it a year ago. Review: Serves its purpose well! - I utilized this element in a bit of a different manner, instead of running it off of 240 AC, I tied it to a set of solar panels that make 220 DC. They only make 1100 watts but the resistance of this element (this was attempt #3) matched my panels perfectly! On a good day my 40 gallon tank will make 190 degree water! That equates to almost 80 gallons of usable water with no grid electricity or gas! ## Features - Low Watt Density Stainless Steel Foldback Heating Element - Foldback Heating Element provides 2500w 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 | |---------------|-------| | Brand | DERNORD | | Color | steel | | Item Weight | 12.95 ounces | | Material | Stainless Steel | | Material Type | Stainless Steel | | Voltage | 240 volts | | Wattage | 2500 watts | ## Product Details - **Material:** Stainless Steel - **Voltage:** 240 Volts - **Brand:** DERNORD - **Color:** steel - **Wattage:** 2500 watts ## Images ![DERNORD 240V 2500W Foldback Water Heater Element Screw-plug Heating Element - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51a8mB0pwxL.jpg) ![DERNORD 240V 2500W Foldback Water Heater Element Screw-plug Heating Element - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61dKCC4jonL.jpg) ![DERNORD 240V 2500W Foldback Water Heater Element Screw-plug Heating Element - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61gYu0-uNDL.jpg) ![DERNORD 240V 2500W Foldback Water Heater Element Screw-plug Heating Element - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61TkBp3RcyL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Why is this considered a high watt rather than a low watt density element?
