A couple of days ago I installed a 1500W heater. I waited a few days to let the system bleed itself. It finally got all the way up to 200 F (by the gauge) which is usually the max its at. SO I was worried about not having coolant in the heater, and it says "if not filled with coolant than the heating element can burn up in seconds" not sure how true it was so I took off the top hose poured some water in, and coolant came out of the other side so I was pretty confident it was filled.
After tightening up the hose clamp I plugged it in and felt the heater, felt the hose, felt the heater, back and forth. Once the heater got pretty hot I stopped feeling it and just felt the hose. It got HOT!! I also spilled a little water on the heater (before plugging it in) and it went from regular looking water to boiling, to gone in a few seconds. I wasn't going any where so I unplugged it. Will report back on how long it takes to warm up, and also with some pictures.
