Does this waterer and the 5 gallon waterer include the heating element?

Yvonne, no it doesn't. I really like mine. Using a light hanging from above. (Not far above). The watts used according to the temp. A house bulb can be used for the chix light bulb holder. Hope that helps

No. I do not believe that the product specs indicate anywhere that they are more than the bucket with nipples attached. I do see from the new link to the 2 gallon that there is an improved lid with a cap in it that means you do not have to remove the entire lid to fill it. I will be retrofitting mine to be this way. it is a pain to get the entire lid off to refill it. This waterer has been a lifesaver and huge time saver for me. I highly recommend it.

I have a Bradford White 40 gal heater3500w-4500w and the element fit just like the old one. I reccomend getting the socket tool to remove and install the element. I also replaced both elements. I have hot water again like it was new. I also found out that you need to drain the tank every 2-4 months to prevent mineral build up. That is what caused mine to fail.

Yes, I had to replace my original one that burnt out...do to my stupidity...I had left the electric switch on the water heater tank to "on" after I had winterized the RV. So when I started to De-winterize I absent mindedly plugged in the RV without turning the water heater switch to "off". Although this element is shorter than the original it works the same. You will need to purchase a special sized tool to remove the element. I purchased a couple more elements, just in case my stupidity returns?!?

Yes, according to Sears Parts Direct this element is the heater for this appliance.

No it doesn't. But it has some problems with calcium/lime buildup around the heating element.

Yes there is a silicone seal between the glass and the heating element.The water touches the seal

Yes. All except for the heating element of course. The plastic is good quality and keeps the unit cool. I had one 20 years ago. It too was plastic and lasted the years until the heating element died. This one is designed better, works better, and cleans up easier. Don't worry about the plastic.

All of these 6 gallon units with DSI and Electric include a heat exchanger, which is a 5/8" loop on the back of the water heater according to Atwood. They could not provide a photo of this. If I buy one, I'll post a picture. This is not true of the 10 gallon units which are available with or without a heat exchanger.

Yes, the water does heat up. I have used it a few times and I glad I bought it.

The heating element is the flat base plate on the inside of the water container. It is not all exposed.

I can tell you this one worked perfect for my 5-gallon tank: Hydor 25W Submersible Aquarium Heater - Original Theo http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0006JLPG8/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

No, sorry. When we had an issue with our GE, it had stopped warming the water, it was a controller. Fortunately, GE covered it completely, replaced the part at no charge. You have to find a certified GE repairman.

Yes, everything you need is included. We love it! Use it every day. It says to change every 6 months, but we've had it in for nearly a year now and the water still tastes great!

The heating system is stainless steel-lined, which eliminates water contact with the heating element, which I understand is aluminum. This should help extend the life of the heating element

Sorry, I don't know because I haven't connected it to the water yet, it's in a new build. However, I imagine it will vary according to what type of water heater you have (instantaneous or tank) and how far it is from the source of the water.
