Here we go again!Sorry!
after two days reading I'm smarter but not enough.
I need parts list and plans for 1.5 KW element@220 V .But power here in southport Far south Tasmania.(just to make you feel sorry for my remote boiler) needs positive, negative, and ground.three wires.
Does the low power of my element, affect the diagrams already on the forums?
Cheers Carl

no, it doesn't. Make sure to put some meaningless flashing lighs on your controller. I neglected to do so on mine and miss that feature. :lol:

mate get your self one of these

cheap as chips
run the POS wire "through" it
the Neg wire goes direct to your element
and ground goes to the boiler

build a little box

i run one of these for help in cooling it (240v pc fan)

your 1.5 KW element will mean a slow heat up to "boil" depending on volume but should run ok
