I have a 50 amp subpanel with a circuit for 220 at 30 amps. Will this unit work on this ciruit?

I'm a master electrician, a 4.8 KW unit will draw 20 amps at 240 volts, no more. Use #10wire and a 30 amp 2 pole breaker.

The Item Weight is 50 pounds?

No is not 50 pounds. Its very light.

Can I use #6 wire to also ground this?

No one can tell you what gauge wire to use without knowing the distance between the electrical panel and the water heater. Ohm's law will dictate the resistance of the circuit and the total voltage drop. Simply installing the correct breaker size doesn't mean you will have the voltage needed at the unit. Furthermore, the wire gauge will determine how large a breaker can be installed safely. If none of this makes sense please contact an electrician for your safety.

Dhc-e12 and the e8/10 can both be wired with 8/2... i have plenty of capacity in my main panel.... any reason not to choose the e12? thank you

I suggest using the more robust unit. It will not work as hard and there will be a little extra capacity for future expansion.
