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 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.

It heats 5.8 gallons per minute of water by 67°F in the test. The median gas tankless model heats 4.8 gallons per minute by 67°F. Of 487 gas tankless models, 26 have a higher flow than this one.

On Oct 19, 2026, this heater was not listed as ENERGY STAR certified. In tests, 93% of the energy it uses ends up as hot water (UEF 0.93). In the test, daily hot water use was set to high (its draw pattern). Its UEF is lower than that of 196 of the 399 gas tankless models with its draw pattern. On its draw pattern, its UEF is also the median gas tankless UEF. Of the energy it spends heating water, 96% ends up in it (its recovery efficiency).

It is sold under 6 model numbers in all. There are 7 more basic models with the same test figures. Each of them is listed under a different brand. For the full group, see the A. O. Smith T-H3-DV-N 1**.

It may qualify for 2 rebate programs in 2 states. Another 2 rebate programs may accept it if it meets their other terms.
