Beware of INCOLOY immersion heaters with copper thermostats at lower prices;

These are not suitable for hard water areas or stainless steel cylinders

Stainless Steel Cylinders

The manufacturers of Stainless Steel Cylinders all now advocate that ONLY INCOLOY OR Titanium elements WITH AN INCOLOY THERMOSTAT POCKET are fitted. You will find a guarantee exception if one is NOT fitted, then the cylinder warranty will become invalid. The main reason for needing an element with an INCOLOY thermostat pocket instead of the normal copper one, is that there can be electrolytic reactions between the copper and the stainless steel.

Hard Water Areas

In areas of harder water, INCOLOY is recommended for use due to the resistive properties.

Severe Water Areas

Titanium should be used. The warranty will NOT be honoured if the wrong type of element has been found to be fitted in an area of hard water

Product Review: On test!
We live in an all-electric home in a very hard water area, so our immersion heater gets a lot of use, under pretty extreme condition, and has to be pretty tough.

Since we had our hot water tank replaced 5 years ago, I have had to replace the immersion heater 5 or 6 times! (The original heater lasted over ten years.) The heater that came with the new tank lasted about two years before splitting and shorting out, but since then no heater has lasted as long as a year and some have only made it to a few months - our most recent one lasted under 6 weeks!

Not knowing about special heaters for hard water, my first replacement was a standard copper immersion, which only last a few months (why on earth do they sell copper immersions in such a hard water area?!). After that I used the incoloy ones, designed to stand up to hard water, but I haven't had much more success with these (the one that most recenty failed after less than six weeks was an incoloy one). To be...
