My first guess would be you have a problem with an element, Most hot water heaters use 220v, to get this it uses a tandum breaker, (2 breakers joined) if one side has a problem it will cause it to become un-balanced meaning there is feedback on one side. If the waterheater is underwarranty, ask them to check it as it's tripping a breaker repeatedly. If it's not under warranty, then I'ld get someone in to check it.

I am assuming it's only a 2 conductor wire going to the tank.

Sorry, I can't explain it in real simple terms, Perhaps someone got a good example in school that they can explain with.
