Real flow rate by climate

A tankless heater's usable flow depends on how far it must raise incoming water temperature. Sustained hot-water flow of the Rheem RECTGH-SR84IP at common temperature rises (a typical shower uses about 2 GPM of mixed water):

Temperature rise Climate Sustained flow Simultaneous showers
45 °F Warm climate (~75 °F groundwater) 4.6 GPM 2
55 °F Mild climate (~65 °F groundwater) 4.6 GPM 2
70 °F Cold climate (~50 °F groundwater) 4.3 GPM 2
77 °F DOE test condition 3.9 GPM 1
