An electrode boiler of the type in which each electrode is located in a steam generating compartment surrounded by a control compartment and the boiler load is regulated by transfer of water between these compartments. A manifold is mounted at the top of each steam generating compartment and is connected to a source of electrical energy. Water received by the manifold is formed into multi-jets that are directed downwardly in the steam generating compartment. The rate of steam generation is controlled, in part, by the height of water in the steam generating compartment. In one embodiment, the jets are directed inwardly to converge adjacent the center bottom of the chamber. In another embodiment, the jets are directed vertically downward and may be reformed at an intermediate point of their travel. Water is removed from the boiler and pumped to the manifolds. Normally this water is mixed with other water. The other water may be water which has been removed from the boiler and used for some purpose, such as space heating for instance. In one embodiment the piping between the control compartment and the manifold is discontinuous to provide a gap bridged only by the water.
