Choosing Made Easy

Determine which model work for your application requires a few steps. Tankless hot water heaters are based on the flow and temperature rise. The first thing to do is measure your water temperature. Just turn a cold water tap, waiting for the cold water will take the temperature of the water. Most people shower at between 100 and 105 degrees. The difference between the temperature of your incoming water and 105 is the temperature rise you'll need.

To determine the rate you'll need, decide what you would like to have running at any given time. If you think you can have two showers going at once, turn on both shower and time how long each takes to fill a container 1 gallon. Sixty seconds, divided by the number of seconds it took to fill the container will give you the speed of this application in gallons per minute. If you had more of a pending application, simply add the rates together to determine the maximum flow required.

Each model must have information on the temperature rise to what it can offer different rates. This should allow you to easily determine which model is best for your application. If you still have difficulty, simply contact the retailer and they should be able to help.

Choosing a tankless water heater can be overwhelming, but if you break it down into small steps it can greatly simplify the task. Select the source of energy that will be best for you, then the mark, and finally the model.
