No name element vs camco?

Upgrading from my test system to my full sized pot. Need to get a bigger element, but need to stay 110v.

Grainger has a 1600w 110v zinc plated no name.
Amazon has a 5500w 240v ripple Camco element.

When I put the grainger one in my shopping cart I get this questionaire about using it for potable water. Is it the zinc that they are talking about or basically since a mexican sourced no brand name it could be anything.

???

I would like to have the 1600w over the 1300w.

ps....still considering if I will do the citric acid wash to get zinc off or not.

Well, the message says, "prohibited in some states", I'm guessing it is only harmful to use in California, everywhere else is OK.

2000w here....

Thanks wilserbrewer! Totally going to get that one now. (Although shipping seems to be extremely steep, $16 to get to midwest?!?!?) But I guess they got away with it.

Your welcome! Just please mail me a nickel for every minute the additional 400w saves you , and it will make a significant difference!

FWIW I have been using 2000w 120v HD elements available at Home Depot for like 10 bucks for years and many, many batches. Got bitten once and scorched a batch, only because I took an hour break or so b/w runoff and boil and all the trub settled around the element and burnt black as night. I have read this can also happen with the lower density elements, so whatever you choose...you've been warned...cheers!

Up to you, I'm still using the HD elements, but now I know the limitations...
