Flow where you live

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 4.5 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 4.7 gallons per minute of water from 58°F to 125°F in the test. The gas tankless type has a median flow of 4.8 gallons per minute. Of 487 gas tankless models, 252 have a higher flow than this one.

On Oct 19, 2026, this heater was not listed as ENERGY STAR certified. In tests, 81% of the energy it uses ends up as hot water (UEF 0.81). In the test, daily hot water use was set to high (its draw pattern). Its UEF is lower than that of 327 of the 399 gas tankless models with its draw pattern. On its draw pattern, the median gas tankless UEF is 0.93. When it runs, 82% of the energy it uses reaches the water (its recovery efficiency).

Its test figures match those of 5 other basic models. Each of the 5 other brands lists one of them. For the full group, see the A. O. Smith TK-510C-NI 1** page.
