Multiple Water Supply Tankless Electric Water Heater
  • 1.Assess Your Hot Water Needs

Begin by evaluating your household's hot water usage patterns. Factors such as the number of bathrooms, appliances (showers, sinks, washing machines, dishwashers), and simultaneous hot water requirements during peak times should be considered. Each of these activities and fixtures will have a specific flow rate and temperature rise requirement.

  • 2.Understand Power Ratings 

Different models of tankless electric water heaters have varying power ratings, typically measured in kilowatts (KW). The power rating signifies the unit's capacity to heat water. A higher KW rating generally indicates a higher flow rate and capacity to supply hot water to multiple points simultaneously.

  • 3.Calculate Required Flow Rate

Use the following formula to estimate the flow rate (in gallons per minute, GPM) needed:

(Desired Flow Rate) = (Total simultaneous fixtures) x (Average Flow Rate per fixture)

Consider the flow rates of various fixtures. For instance, a shower might have a flow rate of around 2.5 GPM, a sink 1 GPM, and a washing machine 2 GPM.

  • 4.Determine Temperature Rise

The temperature rise is the difference between the desired hot water temperature and the incoming groundwater temperature. Incoming groundwater temperature can vary by location and season. Typically, the average groundwater temperature is around 50°F (10°C).

  • 5.Match Power Rating to Requirements

Once you have estimated the required flow rate and temperature rise, match these values to the appropriate tankless electric water heater model. A higher KW rating accommodates higher flow rates and larger temperature rises, making it suitable for larger households or increased simultaneous hot water demands.

3.5KW & 6.5KW: Ideal for small households with minimal simultaneous hot water usage, such as a single bathroom or a kitchen sink.

8KW & 13.8KW: Suited for medium-sized households with moderate simultaneous hot water needs, covering a couple of bathrooms and appliances running at the same time.

18KW & 27KW:Recommended for larger homes or places with high hot water demands, capable of providing hot water to multiple bathrooms and appliances simultaneously.
