If you are using typical residential voltages ( 120v/240v) a 40 amp breaker is plenty big enough. You could even use a twenty amp breaker.

Current in amps = watts/ voltage in volts. If you have a 240 volt supply, it will draw 4800/240 = 20 amps, so no. This is a very powerful water heater, and would normally be wired into a dedicated circuit, presumably with a 30 amp breaker.

How much hydro does a 4800 watts heater use?

Your term "hydro" is another term for kilowatt hours. So to answer your question a 4800 watt heater on for an hour would consume 4.8 kilowatt/hours. To take it further if you knew what you pay for a kilowatt hour in your area, multiply it by 4.8 and you could see how much it costs you to operate the heater. An example if you pay .11 cents a kilowatt hour, the price would be .528 or 53 cents an hour.
