The other thing is that the wattage is very low on the water heater compared true boiler { 1500 watt will crank out about 5100 BTU so 4500 watt element will dish out about 15,300 BTU } and most resdential waterheater are not designed for contionous operation at all.

One of my customer done that and the result was very terrble with it { he have both gaz and electric waterheater running that time and the bill was just insane after he covernted to true boiler the bill drop down a bit }

Merci,Marc
