Replacing my water heater and code now requires a shutoff at the water heater. I currently have just an x10 220v outlet there now. Will the xps2 work in this app.?

If your hot water heater has a plug in cord, then that is considered a disconnect. YOU unplug it and it is disconnected. You should be good.

Without knowing more about the water heater, it's hard to say. I can tell you that most water tanks around here are rated at 30 amps (mine draws 70 ;) ), which is 10 above the rating of the xps2. I kinda doubt that the x10 switch would count as a disconnect anyway. I know that I sure wouldn't trust it in this case.
