Its a good idea to put the water heater on a mechanical timer so that it turns OFF power to the heating element when you are not using hot water. We find it takes less than 15 minutes to get hot water for showering or washing dishes. It will save your element when you forget to shut off the heater and the water level drops in the heater.

Also, install a 220 volt 4,000 watt heater element rather than the OEM 120V 1000 watt element. The 4Kw element is more rugged and when powered from 120 volts it will deliver 1Kw, same power as OEM.
