Can you advise how the lower element should be set? The Kenmore tank (by AO Smith, State, I believe) says, "DualWattâ„¢ lower element easily converts from 3800 watt to 5500 watt to accommodate different wiring". My electrician installed the 220/240 line for this new install of the water tank.
Someone said to set the lower element to the less wattage - it'll take longer to heat water but saves money. Or is setting to the high wattage best to keep that hot water flowing during a shower?
How do you balance the upper and lower elements - are they always to be set to the same temp (140 for me)?
