Fast shipping, all installation parts and seals included
The heating element was easy to replace within a few minutes. The set contains all the seals required for this, which are sometimes not included with other products. Tip: To loosen the heating element, have a 55 mm socket from the truck sector ready, as ring and open-end wrenches are not suitable for loosening it (recessed installation)
I exchanged the element for the built-in one. The boiler was delivered installed in a new yacht in October 2016. In October 2019 I exchanged the element for the first time, now again. The reason for the replacement was a short-circuit to earth caused by eaten-out heating rods. This results in a replacement interval of three years. Actually not a problem, because because of the sacrificial anode, which after three years only exists in fractions, an exchange would have to take place anyway. Tip Always have a spare on board!
As a replacement for a Quick 20l, impeccable, identical to the old one, Delivered with anode and 2 gaskets, a flat and an O-ring. What use for the toric? Mystery
After changing the heating element of the water boiler works again without problems. Before, the FI switch always triped in the harbor. The anode installed in the heating element was used up after 15 years. Changing the element was not easy. The 55 mm screw is about 3 to 4 cm back and can only be solved with a tubular socket wrench 55 mm, since the distance between the hard foam insulation and the 55 mm screw is only a maximum of 3 mm. It also disturbs the tightly mounted on the screw fastening the grounding cable a little. After a long search, I was able to borrow the corresponding tubular socket wrench from a truck repair shop. DIY stores and motor vehicles do not have these keys.
