There is NO stated life expectancy of ANY electric heating element.
There work or don't and that can be for a few minutes (dry firing) or or MANY MANY years.
I have changed some after 20 years of use and some after a few months of use. No rhyme/no reason.
As for the coolant..........manual doesn't even address change interval
Gas vehicle........only changed coolant when work involved draining coolant
Diesel truck.......5 yrs or 100,000 miles due to type/needs of coolant
Aqua Hot is like the gas vehicle.......only when work requires draining of coolant
