Poor water quality is quite common in areas with high mineral soils. The water collected in natural catchments can become saturated by minerals and impurities that then become a part of our household water supply. When this water is used in appliances, such as an electric hot water service, it can quickly corrode a heating element designed for less aggressive water.

Australian land, being a wonderfully rich source of metals and minerals, is renowned for just this type of problem, particularly in W.A and S.A.

There are a couple of things that can help assist the life of the heating element in a hot water service tank.

1. A higher quality sheath material, such as Incoloy (not the typical copper sheath type)
2. Sacrificial anodes, which will attract the corrosive impurities rather than the element itself (sacrificial anodes much be checked and often replaced regularly)
3. A lower watts density element, which delivers the same heat, with less intensity

If you do live in an area well known for it’s water impurities, or notice that you seem to be replacing your heating elements yearly or even monthly, consider the above options when buying a new heating element.

Due to the vast imports of domestic and commercial tubular heating elements into Australia, we have, unfortunately, seen some  Australian heating element manufacturers close down, or decrease their manufacturing volume over the past couple of years. We will therefore keep a running list of heating elements that are listed as N.L.A (no longer available). These products will not be stocked items, however they will be available from Romar Elements.

This list will be updated as we recieved news of any tubular heating elements no longer manufactured in Australia. This list is a work in progress; if you know of commercial or domestic heating elements which you cannot purchase in Australia, call us for assistance, or simply send us a message, so we can add the item to the list.

N.L.A Elements can be found in our regular online catalogue for domestic oven heating elements.
