Colder incoming water needs a bigger rise, so the heater gives 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.
At a 67°F rise, its flow in the test is 5.0 gallons per minute. The gas tankless type has a median flow of 4.8 gallons per minute. Among 487 gas tankless models, 176 give more flow at a 67°F rise.
It was not listed as ENERGY STAR certified on Oct 19, 2026. In tests, 81% of the energy it uses ends up as hot water (UEF 0.81). In the test, daily hot water use was set to high (its draw pattern). Among 399 gas tankless models on its draw pattern, 327 have a higher UEF. For its type and draw pattern, the median UEF is 0.93. When it runs, 84% of the energy it uses reaches the water (its recovery efficiency).
There are 13 more basic models with the same test figures. In all, 6 other brands list one or more of them. For the full group, see the A. O. Smith TK-510U-E 2** page.
