Flow where you live

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 4.3 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 4.5 gallons per minute. The median flow among gas tankless models is 4.8 gallons per minute. Among 487 gas tankless models, 319 give more flow at a 67°F rise.

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). 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. On its draw pattern, the median gas tankless UEF is 0.93. While it heats water, 84% of the energy used goes into the water (its recovery efficiency).

Its 2 model numbers are NHW700-180AI-LP and NHW700-180AI-NG. Its test figures match those of one other basic model. You can find the whole group on the page for the Navien NHW700-180AE-NG.
