No different than your water heater in your house the element is designed to be in water not air. It will cause the element to overheat. It's also true for the heating pads, if you allow the edges to peel the pad can overheat and burn itself up.
What part # Zerostart heater did you buy? Is it 600W or 1000W?

How does it overheat if water is flowing around it? They are mounted at bottom of block so other than a couple little bubbles flowing through system I can’t see them overheating.
