Once properly installed and power is restored, the Camco water heater element operates automatically in conjunction with your water heater's thermostat. When the water temperature in the tank drops below the thermostat's set point, the thermostat will activate the element, which then heats the water. The element will turn off once the desired temperature is reached. No manual intervention is typically required for the element's operation itself.
