Well other than your Oops, that one seems plenty good for the 1/4 hp Weed ..... nice!

I do have one question. If it has an electrical over pressure cut off, why would low water burn out the element? Seems to me that as soon as the element started to get close to exposed, the steam pressure would shoot up and shut the whole thing down. Am I missing something here?
