You'd be best to get a proper replacement from an online auction site. Buying from the manufacturer will be expensive but the chargers can be had from other sources at minimal cost.

I'm going to have nightmares for weeks and I won't be able to use the toilet either :(

I guess I'll have to just go off the back deck until I can forget this thread!

Definitely take the advice either not to buy this in the first place or to replace the FP Panel with something new. The FP panel is not safe and it is not worth it to try to mess with it any...

I don't think we're really too far apart on most of the issues. I definitely don't think I'd want to be a landlord.....too much trouble unless you're lucky enough to get good tenants.

I...

Of course I'd pay if I put a hole in the wall or caused any other damage to the unit. I'd also be happy to pay if I dropped something in the drain that caused an obstruction or dumped grease in...

You can actually get people to rent a place from you and agree to pay for any clogs that might happen?

I know I wouldn't.

If you've read through the thread, you already know that the only reasonable course of action is to take the heater back to Lowe's and go out and get a Bradford White or Rheem unit somewhere.

Ladiesman,

I'm not against tankless heaters (I may go tankless myself next time due to severe space restrictions) but I do have a question on your numbers.

You mentioned that your system is...

I read the forums daily, though I haven't actually bothered logging in with my username for about half a year, as I don't generally post. I thought it would be worth it to comment on this, though.

I have tried that - I can get it down to about 98 volts before it stops working - it can almost run (and likely would if I unplugged everything else)

If I can't find a 750W element, I'll grab a...

That's ok - I would expect it to be very, very slow at recovering.

If I can actually find one of these, I'll pick it up and try it.

I haven't been able to find any of these online anywhere so I will try to call "local" supply houses (I'm not exactly close to anhing though)

Any chance one of you has seen one of these online...

Thanks for the replies. The 750W element sounds like it would be ok for my situation. Interestingly, this thread already comes up third on google when searching for 750w 115v element

My next...

I have a 10 Gallon GE Smartwater Electric Water Heater with a single 1500W element. I'm using a micro-hydro power system that used to run this ok but, for reasons I won't get into, the capacity is...

I'll do that. Thanks for the responses...

It may be a few weeks before I get to this but I'll post a pic when I'm done.

It is currently working ok but, since the wall is open and will be closed up again, I thought I'd avail myself of the opportunity to fix it up properly.

So far, the responses have basically...

My situation is as follows:

I have opened up the basement bathroom for non-plumbing reasons and I see some work that looks suspect.

The picture shows the pipes coming downstairs from the...
