"That water will do as long as its not chlorinated. If it is just areate it overnight or boil the piss out of it and it'll be fine. But if you are already using it for beers and wines your good ta go."

Nope, not chlorinated. No additives at all. Live out in the desert and had my own well dug, so it's naturally sand filtered at that!

"the picture and the description dont seem to match. the picture shows a single burner. what do you have???? Two 7-1/2-inch cast iron elements, 900 watts per burner, 1800 watts total Robertshaw thermostats: infinite heat controls to attain desired temperatures Easily cleaned stainless steel housing Power lights indicate burners are turned on http://www.amazon.com/gp/produc...f=oh_o00_s00_i00_details"

This picture is poor but it contains a router speed control, an in line thermostat with a sensor and a single element by passed hot plate  here is another one-- the point i am making is that the hotplate is a single burner 1500 watt unit  "

I can't see where the 2 elements are but if you can get 1800 watts under your boiler it should work great.
