Description
Premium-grade titanium heating element engineered for superior performance and longevity in spa applications. This top-tier 5.5KW/1.375KW element represents the highest quality option available, surpassing standard Incoloy (good) and Teflon coated (better) variants. Specifically designed with the characteristic bend required for Balboa M-7 heater tube compatibility, this element also integrates seamlessly with Gecko, ACC, and most conventional hot tub heating systems. The titanium construction makes this element particularly well-suited for salt water system installations where corrosion resistance is critical. Measuring 10-3/4" in length with terminals positioned 1-1/4" apart, this dual-voltage component operates on both 230V and 115V applications. Metal bulkhead fittings included along with mounting hardware. Compatible with heater assemblies featuring thermowells as well as those without. Commonly found in contemporary spa models. Troubleshooting guidance: If breaker trips during testing, disconnect the element - if breaker remains stable when reconnected without the element, this confirms the heater as the issue source. For non-breaker problems, measure resistance between terminals using an Ohm meter; proper reading should register approximately 10.5K ohms. A reading of 0K indicates an open circuit. If breaker doesn't trip and resistance tests normal, investigate alternative heat failure causes including pressure switch malfunction, clogged filtration, inadequate water circulation, or control board circuit interruption.
