- JJimRated 4 out of 5 stars4 years ago13 years and still going
I bought an original model about 13 years ago. It has been in continuous use for those 13 years. I’m using it with an electric heating element as it comes with a 1” female threaded connector. The only negative I have is that the lid fits over the top of the tank. This allows a little bit of condensation collect on the top and a small amount will drip down the side. It would be better if the lid fit inside the top lip on the tank. Then any condensation would drip back into the tank. Over all a great HLT.
