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 5.6 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.
ENERGY STAR certified models
| Model number | UEF | Flow at a 67°F rise (gal/min) | Recovery efficiency |
|---|---|---|---|

It heats 5.9 gallons per minute of water by 67°F in the test. The median flow among gas tankless models is 4.8 gallons per minute. Its flow at a 67°F rise trails 17 of the 487 gas tankless models.
All 2 of its model numbers are ENERGY STAR certified. In tests, 95% of the energy went to hot water, so its UEF is 0.95. Its test ran at the high level of daily hot water use. Among 399 gas tankless models on its draw pattern, 49 have a higher UEF. For its type and draw pattern, the UEF runs from 0.81 to 0.98. While it heats water, 98% of the energy used goes into the water (its recovery efficiency).
Its 2 model numbers are RTHR-199M 1** and RTHR-199X3 1**. All of its test figures are shared by 6 other basic models. Each of the 6 other brands lists one of them. You can find the whole group on the page for the A. O. Smith ATHR-199M 1**.
It may qualify for 6 rebate programs. Another 2 programs may accept it if it meets their other terms.
