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 4.6 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.
