This technique for heating a bath is not safe and therefore I do not recommend you try this yourself.
I featured this device in a video a while ago. It was made to provide a hot deep bath in an old flat with an inadequate water heating system. The unit relies on the resistivity of the clean water to limit current leakage. It does potentially make the water live at mains voltage in a manner that couples current very well to human bodies. I did consider grounding the frame, but the difficulty arose in properly sealing the ends of the elements which are not designed to be submerged and potentially get quite hot.
It looks nice in operation and will slowly heat a full bath to any temperature desired. (but not too high!)
The element I used is a 240V 2kW kettle element. The circuit is protected by an RCD/GFCI for "safety". I measured the leakage to ground at just 1 or 2mA.

Ok but could you actually take a bath after you take everything out of the water?
I am enjoying your content about DMX devices.
lol
looks like something from a 1950s nuclear experiment film
Making some Clive tea 🍵 yummy 🤤
Ironically I'm dying for a good hot bath right now… I know, TMI
Ah, the word limit of the thumbnail – "If it's worth doing, it's worth doing" – so true …
You could dip the unit in some ceramic paint. That would effectively separate it electrically from the water. But would I trust it? Heck no!!!
Done this with a deep fryer element a couple of months back. Took far too long heating up the bath, about 40 mins If i remember correctly. Definitely not a viable solution to water heating
looks like slow motion flames innit.
You need to buy yourself a hot water heater.
How dare you not toss a ham in the tub!
Are those Hydrogen bubbles? If so light them on fire please
