All appliances are required to have voltage name tag. If you have the voltage multiply by the amp draw and it will give you the wattage.

volts x amps= watts
the amps is on the rating plate of the unit next to the model and your volts may vary 115-120

Try soaking the heating unit in lime away or vinegar to remove lime deposits, if that doesn't help add a small amount of salt to the water.

5200 to 6000 watts
you can figure watts by the formula amps times volts equals watts.
