How to tell when water heater is at max?
When using the electric heating element is there a way to tell when its reached max temp and shuts off? (besides trying to listen) I keep meaning the buy an instant meat thermometer. I suppose i could...

Just changed out our element for the 2000 watt one. Atwood 10 gallon heater.
Added mixer valve at water heater so water can only get to a max at each faucet.
Also changed out the T-stat and over temp T-stat as a kit. Water temps are now higher. Supposed to be 160 but I don't think it gets quite that high.
Chasing that cold to hot or hot to cold and chasing the shower controls was a pain. Nice long even showers now.
