Thanks for jumping in and sharing some of your experience. It is nice to see someone that is in the field that does not mind sharing info.
Good point. I paid the extra for a pure sine wave inverter and it is just big enough for the heater.
I have a generator but it is not a pure sine wave inverter so this is what I will use the inverter to run the hot water tank and not the generator.
