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 5.5 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| VRP-199 | 0.95 | 5.7 | 97% | High |
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 5.7 gallons per minute. The median flow among gas tankless models is 4.8 gallons per minute. Among 487 gas tankless models, 60 give more flow at a 67°F rise.
It was not listed as ENERGY STAR certified on Oct 19, 2026. In the test, 5% of its energy does not reach the hot water (UEF 0.95). In the test, daily hot water use was set to high (its draw pattern). Its UEF is lower than that of 49 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, 97% of the energy it uses reaches the water (its recovery efficiency).
