    Goplus heater element kawaii 1805 is cheaply made and fails, usually within a year. Ours did. Direct Replacement not available. Got a Camco 1000 watt screw in element, Pipe flange to fit, altered the six screw top to accommodate it, ring terminals to connect the power wires to the element, hole in the top of the cover plate, assembly, first time in the tub was good...

    Hey @Scott33, I have an Aleko spa with the same kawaii 1805 element and somehow found this forum with your post.  
    I know the heating element is broken and not one of the sensors because I put my multimeter on it and it's an open/broken connection.
    I bought a Camco 1000 watt RV heating element from Amazon, but I agree with the rest, it seems like it will be too long for the housing.

    The official element is 4-1/8" long, the enclosure is only 4-1/2" long.  So, very curious how you modified it to work.  

    If I can figure something out in the next few days, I'll share pictures here.

    Thanks!
