<description><![CDATA[<p><strong>Message</strong>: Hi, I have a Saratoga spa with a Balboa VS514SZ pack installed. The breaker trips as soon as I turn it on. I disconnected the brass strap from the heater and the breaker does not trip anymore so I think I isolated the problem to the heater being faulty. I&#39;m about to purchase the heater from your site. The Balboa&nbsp;part number is 58083 (5.5kw incoloy). However, I noticed that a titanium version is also available (Balboa&nbsp;part number 55624). Will it fit instead of 58083? Is it worth it? Last question: I&#39;m from Canada. Where do you ship from? Will I need to pay any duties/taxes? Thanks! Louis &nbsp;<br />

<p>You diagnosed the problem correctly. <a href="https://www.cedartubsdirect.com/balboa-55-kw-heater-tube-with-titanium-heater-element-55624-p-534.html">Balboa Titanium heater element version</a> is good for corrosive environments such as salt water.&nbsp; We are located in Winnipeg and ship via either UPS or Canada Post.
