How hot (what temp) does a spa water heater get?

i just got a free hot tub from a friend, he said it had a leak but didn't knw where it was coming from, well i found it, it is coming from the vertical water heater core inside the control box. the welds on both the top and bottom had split... well instead of going all out and renting a welder i just put some jb cold weld on it. on the jb weld site it says it can only stand temperatures of 500 degrees so my question is how hot will this heater core get? also i should throw this in too, there are about 5 wires touching the heater that look like thats how it was installed so maybe the surface of it doesn't even get hot? i don't know.. any info is appreciated.

First that is a very cheap heater to replace. You should be able to find it for around 110. If the welds have failed it is certain the actual element is not far behind. The heater will heat up to 104 degrees. That's the US Federal law governing Hot tub heaters. It is very simple to replace and when you do, buy a new 12 dollar pressure switch to replace at the same time.
