Smile Aqua Hot Heating Element Current Overdraw

The Model # is 431XE/12. Other information on the "Marking Plate" has faded away. I do know the heating element for the 220V is 4500 watts and the element for the 120V is 1650 watts. I have replaced the 120V element about three years ago. The input voltage is around 120 volts. If you divide the watts by the voltage to get the amperage draw, it is a lot less than what my unit is drawing. 4500 watts divided by 240volts is 18.75 amps. 1650 watts divided by 120 volts is 13.75. What is causing the high amperage draw. Is it hard water buildup on the elements. Thanks for your input.
