EWH-01 Electric Water Heater Maintenance Kit, Complete with Two 240V Water Heater Thermostats and Elements - 4500W (3500W@208V), Universal Type Replacement Parts for Water Heaters Review

Can't say much about the product as my 9 year old son installed it himself. He needed me to move a chair down to the basement because he couldn't get to the plumbing.

The repair kit was fairly easy to install and the results were excellent. The tank does not heat up faster and recovers much faster. I installed it on AO Smith 50 gallon tanks. The thermostats are a little longer than the originals, but they snap in well and work like the originals.

The upper element overheated to the point of scalding and burst through the safety valve. Good thing we didn't leave our cabin by the lake while it was getting warmer. I ended up using an old thermostat on the top element and…

My 24 year old State Industries water heater burned out a heating element after it kicked the overheat protection (ECO) device. The manufacturer did not provide any information on spare parts and stated that it would recommend buying a new one. Disposal of the old/installation of the new unit, the inconvenience of the new unit is very uncomfortable for the…

We decided to order this kit to save the trip to the local store. Everything looked fine. The installation has completed and everything seems fine. The water temp seemed a little on the hot side. Lowered the temperature on both thermostats. The water still seemed a little hot but we let it go. Then the switch in the main thermostat started to work. Since we've been using the new parts, we've noticed a recurring trend. The water temperature will be higher no matter where it is set on the…
