Great product reduced my 1,400-watt heating element to this new 1,000-watt.Works perfectly.Also, the original heating element was causing a lot of heat.* make sure when filling the RV tank to use 3 filters set up coming into the RV to reduce contamination of water hard lime.* I use a 1-micron 1st stage then 2nd stage 0.5-micron 3rd filter 0.2 micronThis will keep all your plumbing lines & fixtures sinks, toilet, plus water heater clean of debrisOnly use Pure Sine Wave Inverter if you're on solar.1 hour 10 minutes to heat 10 gallons of hot water from my Atwood GC10A-3E water heater.

    You may have to order a special socket unless you have a big toolbox.
  

*by O***R on Reviewed in the United States on January 15, 2024*

It's hard to find a lower wattage like this one.  It still does a good job, but it gives us 500 watts we can use somewhere else. Sometimes with the original 1500 watt unit, having the refrigerator on park power then turning on the microwave or air conditioner will sometimes cause the park circuit breaker to flip off. Using this unit solved all that.
