jb said:When u take ur lower element out get a flash light and check for calcium or any other debris in the bottom of tank... I have well water and about every six months I have to drain mine and clean calcium off the element and the bottom of tank mine will just fill up with calcium at the bottom and insulate the bottom element from disapating heat to the cold water
If ur on city water this should not be a problem just thought I might add in case ur on well water

Few more bucks but are supposed to stop mineral accumulation on the elements.
