I think the guy was having some fun with you. Distilling salt water takes the salt out, leaving you with distilled water. The Navy distills water on its ships.

My water heater works as redcolorado described. The light in the switch burned out, but the water still heated on 120. So try your heater on 120. It could just be the light that's bad.

Grumpy, are you on 50 amp shore power? I ask because I think that normally the EMS does not show amps when on 50 amp. At least that's the way mine works.
