The element on my year old Watlow has corroded due to an aggressive pre-soak solution which also circulates to keep the overhead pipe chase warm. This is my first Watlow in several years having just used a 1500w water heater element which lasted but caused other problems due to the lack of temp. control.
Has anyone had better luck with screw-in heaters made by Accutherm? I'm not willing to spend $150 a year on Watlow. I'm inclined to go back to the water heater element and wire it through an aquastat, but I wanted to ask about alternatives first.
Thanks.
