Flow where you live

A bigger rise from colder incoming water leaves the heater with 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 4.4 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.

It warms 4.6 gallons per minute of water from 58°F to 125°F in the test. The median flow among gas tankless models is 4.8 gallons per minute. Of 487 gas tankless models, 300 have a higher flow than this one.

Under this basic model, 6 model numbers are ENERGY STAR certified. In tests, 96% of the energy it uses ends up as hot water (UEF 0.96). The daily hot water use in the test, called its draw pattern, was high. Its UEF is lower than that of 15 of the 399 gas tankless models with its draw pattern. For its type and draw pattern, the median UEF is 0.93. When it runs, 97% of the energy it uses reaches the water (its recovery efficiency).

It is sold under 6 model numbers in all. There are 3 more basic models with the same test figures. Those basic models are sold with Friedrich, Rheem, and Ruud as their brand names. For the full group, see the Rheem RTGH-S84I page.

It may qualify for 6 rebate programs. Another 2 programs may accept it if it meets their other terms.
