Flow where you live

A bigger rise from colder incoming water leaves the heater with less flow.

Cold water
Cold water must be at least 10°F colder than the hot water setting.
Flow estimate
The estimate uses the lowest certified flow among the listed models. It is about 4.8 gal/min at a 70°F rise.

Flow limits

  • The estimate excludes the flow needed to turn the heater on, heat lost in pipes, and installation.
  • Cold water from a well or long pipe run can differ from the temperature you enter.
  • Without a stated flow limit, estimates for warmer water may exceed the heater’s actual flow.

UEF is the uniform energy factor. A dash means the model has no such figure.

It heats 5.0 gallons per minute of water by 67°F in the test. The median gas tankless model heats 4.8 gallons per minute by 67°F. Of 487 gas tankless models, 176 have a higher flow than this one.

As of Oct 19, 2026, it was not listed as ENERGY STAR certified. In tests, 81% of the energy it uses ends up as hot water (UEF 0.81). Its test simulated a day of high hot water use (its draw pattern). Of 399 gas tankless models with the same draw pattern, 327 have a higher UEF. For its type and draw pattern, the UEF runs from 0.81 to 0.98. While it heats water, 84% of the energy used goes into the water (its recovery efficiency).

All of its test figures are shared by 13 other basic models. Between them, those basic models carry 6 other brand names. You can find the whole group on the page for the A. O. Smith TK-510U-E 2**.
