Post Immersion Heater Problem

Dear Group,

I have started having problems with my water heater lately along with my circuit breaker. The other day my 15amp fuse wire for my immersion water heater blew. The wire was only broken the first time....so I replaced it and thought nothing of it. A short time later when I went to use my hot water it violently blew again but this time the wire was completely melted, gone, nothing left. I have a Horstmann Electronic 7 Maxistore timer hooked to it and for the past 7 months i've had it set to "continuous" rather than boosting or 1hr/2hr timing. I've never had a problem with it before but now I have replaced the fuse wire 4 times and each time it has blown and melted. Any ideas? Thanks
