Hayward 5.5 240V ELEMENT

The Hayward 5.5kW 240V Heating Element is a high-efficiency electrical component specifically engineered for use in Hayward electric spa heaters, such as the C-Spa XI series. Manufactured with a durable Incoloy or stainless steel sheath, this immersion-style element is designed to provide rapid heat transfer and exceptional resistance to the corrosive effects of pool chemicals and mineral scale. It typically features a 1-inch NPT threaded head for a secure, leak-proof installation directly into the heater's 304 stainless steel tank, and it is built to operate at 5500 watts when supplied with 240-volt power. The element is often equipped with integrated safety sensors or designed to interface with the heater's internal high-limit controls to prevent overheating, ensuring a consistent temperature rise for small bodies of water. For shipping and logistical purposes, the estimated weight of the Hayward 5.5kW 240V Element is approximately 0.9 pounds in its retail protective packaging, while the actual dry weight of the heating element itself is roughly 0.7 pounds.
