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 Kepler JSG52-32PCH/199KNP 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) 5.7 GPM 2
55 °F Mild climate (~65 °F groundwater) 5.7 GPM 2
70 °F Cold climate (~50 °F groundwater) 5.5 GPM 2
77 °F DOE test condition 5 GPM 2
