new dc submersible adjustabe water heating elements 12,24,48 volt

Do you know what wattage he was running? If low(er) wattage / low(er) voltage, the effect may not be present.

Its the same issue with using AC breakers for DC currents, the arc is harder to interrupt. I have killed switches, designed for AC (such as 5a @ 240, 10a @ 120, 1/3hp rated switch) that eventually failed (smoked). I was switching 110 watts (2x55w @ 12v). Adding an automotive relay (thermostat switches coil) might be long term solution.

Hello Jeff, great video, but for 1 thing. In the video, you mention that you are able to use the water heater thermostat when using a DC heater.

Most of the thermostats are of a bimetallic variety, meaning that a metal strip flexes to make and break the connection. Temperature control is achieved by adjusting the dial which in turn moves the metallic strip further from or closer to the electrical contact. Won't passing a DC current cause this contact to eventually weld closed?

@SheldonDedek I did not know that. I know of a guy that has been using the water heater thermastat for 3 years no fail, another for 2 years.

Hey jeff another great idea for them is.Alot of people up north here have fish ponds and they need to heat them to keep a hole in them to let the gasses out.Also for water for the animals.Alot of good uses for them especialy the udjustable.
