How to replace an immersion heater element 

This has performed exactly as desired ru-vid.comUgkx8G49mV71sAzUl9shXyLW-r3XgHH9EVh1 . Basically, instant hot water instead of waiting up to two minutes as it was before. I have had this installed almost exactly one year now and just replaced the anode which is pictured. I pulled it out at six months and cleaned the heating element and removed debris. I would recommend a cleaning every six months and an anode replacement yearly. A mild citric acid and water solution soak really helps clean the heating element and tank. It must be fully disassembled to do the cleaning and that is not difficult but could have been made easier with a couple of design changes but no big deal.

Really helpful video Thankyou

Well explained and another great job..

Careful when removing the old heater because if you hit it too hard you can crack the copper tank around the flange, especially if the tank is very old. Check for leakage through pinholes around the area when finished.

WhAt element you put did you say to prevent the air lock?

I’ve just moved into a property that has one of these in the airing cupboard and a Worcester boiler in the garage.. do I need both? How much approx will it cost to get it taken out please.

Very good

Why do you have to drain it ?

Have you got shares in a paste company...?

Nice job mate

If my emerson is tripping the fushbox when switched on could that be the problem ??

What paste did you use to seal?

Hi mate. In the UK, should this be for a spark of plumber? The spark has just left and told us to call his mate. Charged us £50 to tell us it is the heater though.... Haha

Great job mate

How much does this cost ?

A good plumber would fix that old one with some gorilla glue and a spot of solder.

Got an airlock any help??

No need to drain all it avoids air lock that way

How much cost a job lk that?

Nao precisa esvaziar o boiler .

i hope you reduced the temperature of the new heater from the max setting - 70 degrees! thats far too hot. should be 55-60 degrees.

No need to drain down whole tank

OK
