For a 4500 watt electric water heater you can use either a 25 amp 2-pole or a 30 amp 2-pole breaker. The QP230 breaker would be fine for your water heater if you have a Siemens panel or any other panel that is approved to use a Siemens breaker. Consult the label inside the panel door if you have a panel other than a Siemens for a list of manufacturer's breakers approved for use in the panel.

Yes it is. Now there is one other thing to look at and that is the wire gauge running to the water heater. Is it 10 gauge? If so than this would be the correct size breaker for that wire. Remember the breaker is there to protect the wire and 10 gauge is rated for a 30 amp breaker. Hope this helps
