This unit is ideal for Midwest single shower applications. The Rheem Performance Tankless Electric Water Heater provides endless water supply for continued use. The lower kilowatt unit can be used to supply hot water as needed for single or multiple use point applications. Meanwhile, higher kilowatts units can provide warm water to the entire house depending on the groundwater temperature at the entrance. Tankless electric water heater saves space, saves energy, saves money, and does not require airflow. The sleek and compact size is 90% smaller than the tank, so you can save space and place the unit anywhere you want. Tankless unit draws energy only when hot water flows, but traditional tanks always consume energy and keep the water in the tank at the desired temperature.

(1000 sf house)** A: Hello- Sizing an electric tankless is very difficult. I always recommend that you call Rheem at 800-432-8373 to get a suggestion. I want to say this will only keep up with ONLY 1 source of hot water at any one given time. That being said, the RTEX-18 performance ( @240V )- 1.5GPM - 82degree rise 2.0GPM - 62degree rise 2.5GPM - 49degree rise 3.0GPM - 41degree rise So.... what it can keep up with all depends on: -the temp of water coming into the house -the flow rate of each faucet/shower head/washing machine/source of hot water -outlet temp desired I hope this helped :) Ben **Q: How many amps** A: Paperwork says it requires four 40 amp breakers or two DP 40 amp breakers. Max draw of 75 amps. **Q: Rheem rtex-18 be big enough to heat water in my shop to wash my hands and perhaps take a shower in kansas city, mo?** A: Yes you could even go with the unit rtex-15 one smaller if that's it. Good luck **Q: how many breakers and what amp.** A: The RTEX-18 (240 Volt) requires (2) 40 amp breakers and 8 AWG wire. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome, works great! *by A***R on April 1, 2022* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Buen producto *by J***V on December 8, 2023* Bastante cumplidor aun para lo que yo esperaba ya que solo requiero una cantidad relativamente baja de agua caliente y da bastante mas de lo esperado, totalmente recomendable ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Buen producto *by A***O on March 19, 2022* Es buen producto, solo la instalción se complica por el cableado electrico que debe ser calibre 8 y que los interruptores deben ser dobles por el tema de 220V.
