ordered a few to be in stock, glad I did. The first one I installed lasted 90 days and both tubes blew out immediately. I've never experienced that in 40 years. I can only guess where they are made. I have 62 apartments with electric water heaters, maybe I'll throw away the rest of the items and save money for them. This one, which lasted 90 days, was a clean, lime-free water heater. A very, very disappointed customer. Only one update, three more of these failed within 90 days of installationโ€ฆ

Pros
  • One year trial
Cons
  • Hard to tell

Took to replace the burned direct.

I saved it to replace a burned out single pass straight element. I have well water. Installation was more difficult than a straight one/two way element. Because there are so many other elements, it's pretty hard when all you have to do is hold on to the tiny end when stringing the threads together, and even harder when it's embedded in a well-insulated water filter. You need some patience. It does exactly what you think it does compared to a traditional element, it heats water faster or keepsโ€ฆ

  • speakerphone

Nice upgrade for my water heater

What a huge upgrade from my factory settings! The old units were just over 6 years old and I took a cold shower from my 50 gallon tank and was the 2nd person to shower. We have strange water coming from a city-controlled well. Pretty tough and we're not softening. The real difference, however, lies in the quality of the heating elements and the amount of water that each one comes into contact with when heating. In the photo a comparison of factory heating elements and this one. I'm sure theyโ€ฆ

I've had good results with this element in my bad water.

If your water is high in calcium/hardness, the Camco 02953 Element is what you need. I've had good success with this element in my bad water. American water heater EE123-50x 045dm. The only difficulty is the hole to access the lower element. You can't get your fingers to the base of the element to keep it straight. I ended up using a 38mm deep auto socket and a screwdriver through a 1/2 square hole to level the element to get it working. It took a lot of time, but it was worth it. This is myโ€ฆ

Plug-in replacement, non-trivial installation

At first I wasn't impressed with the build quality. The two elements I bought are severely bent, so the elements are not perpendicular to the base and are not aligned outside and behind. Fitting the elements into the water tank was quite a challenge due to the poor bending, but still it only took about a minute to complete each one. "Too big to fit well, but I managed to tighten the elements with my shaft using sheer willpower. The naysayer in me says Camco does this, so buy their specialโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • There are new competitors

The amazing element of life heats very hard water.

This article is a hard water hero. Here's the story. Soft water has 17 ppm. Very hard water - 180 ppm. My well produces water with a hardness of 600 ppm. On a bad day, if you hold a clear jar up to the sun, you'll see anvils and cannonballs circling. We use fabric softener for dishwashers and sinks. Everything else is straight out of the well. For a while I replaced traditional elements every year or so. Installed one of these and it took SIX YEARS! 50 gallon tank. 4 people in the house. If Iโ€ฆ
