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 0.5 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 warms 0.5 gallons per minute of water from 58°F to 125°F in the test. The median electric tankless model heats 0.7 gallons per minute by 67°F. Its flow at a 67°F rise trails 204 of the 337 electric tankless models.

In the test, 8% of its energy does not reach the hot water (UEF 0.92). The daily hot water use in the test, called its draw pattern, was very small. Of 272 electric tankless models with the same draw pattern, 249 have a higher UEF. For its type and draw pattern, the median UEF is 0.96. When it runs, 98% of the energy it uses reaches the water (its recovery efficiency).

There are 4 more basic models with the same test figures. Of those, one or more are under the A. O. Smith and RELIANCE WATER HEATERS brands. You can find the whole group on the page for the A. O. Smith UPVA-45E 1**.
