I spoke with Raritan a couple years back when the original element burnt out. They said it was a common element and a 2000 would work. They also said it could be converted to a 240v unit by redoing the wiring and using a 240v element. So that may be another option to get a faster recovery. But I'd check with them.
Here is an email I received from Kim at Raritan Engineering:
Hi Forest you can change to a 240V element the witing is just a bit different, you would need to consult the manual for the difference in the 240 Wiring but other than that there is nothing else you would need to do.
Please let me know if you require additional info.
THanks
Kim
