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 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.

Certified figures by listed model
| Model number | UEF | Flow at a 67°F rise (gal/min) | Recovery efficiency | Draw pattern |

| UPVS-55E 1** | 0.92 | 0.5 | 98% | Very small |
UEF is the uniform energy factor. A dash means the model has no such figure.
At a 67°F rise, its flow in the test is 0.5 gallons per minute. The median flow among electric tankless models is 0.7 gallons per minute. Of 337 electric tankless models, 204 have a higher flow than this one.
In the test, 8% of its energy does not reach the hot water (UEF 0.92). Its test ran at the very small level of daily hot water use. Of 272 electric tankless models with the same draw pattern, 249 have a higher UEF. On its draw pattern, the median electric tankless UEF is 0.96. While it heats water, 98% of the energy used goes into the water (its recovery efficiency).
Its test figures match those of 4 other basic models. Those basic models are sold with A. O. Smith and RELIANCE WATER HEATERS as their brand names. You can find the whole group on the page for the A. O. Smith UPVA-45E 1**.
