Sonoff won't handle the amperage required by a water heater. You could place a 2 pole HVAC contactor rated for continuous duty with contacts rated equal to or greater than your heater's circuit breaker current in a proper enclosure and use Sonoff to control the coil. A possible circuit is below. As always, consult a qualified electrician and use at your own risk.
