Flow where you live

The heater gives less flow when colder incoming water needs a bigger rise.

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 0.4 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 warms 0.4 gallons per minute of water from 58°F to 125°F in the test. The median flow among electric tankless models is 0.7 gallons per minute. Its flow at a 67°F rise trails 233 of the 337 electric tankless models.

In tests, 97% of the energy it uses ends up as hot water (UEF 0.97). Its test simulated a day of very small hot water use (its draw pattern). Of 272 electric tankless models with the same draw pattern, 37 have a higher UEF. For its type and draw pattern, the median UEF is 0.96. While it heats water, 94% of the energy used goes into the water (its recovery efficiency).

There is one more basic model with the same test figures. That one carries the Rheem brand name. You can find the whole group on the page for the Rheem SPEX48T.
