We finally got our hot water heater together and it's working just fine. We put in a 220V version element like several of you recommended. It's not supposed to burn out if on with a dry tank. However, we're considering a timer. Here's one we found on Amazon that we're thinking of getting.

We don't understand the electrical jargon well so if someone could help on whether this would work with the heating element please advise. The description says - "This unit is rated at 120Volt 60Hz 15AMP, 1875Watt Resistive 8AMP, 120Volt, 1000Watt Tungsten 120Volt, 8AMP, 1000Volt Ballast".
Is 15 amps OK? This one is digital but there are others that are mechanical - a dial and the units click as they count down. Any help with or comment on this is greatly appreciated.
