Recovery rate is the amount of water that is heated to a set temperature, per hour. An draw efficiency and gallon capacity of the water heater may be used to calculate the length of the showering period in minutes. Characterized for its maximum hot water use to calculate the peak hot water demand.
If you have considered upgrading your tank size from 40- or 50-gallons to 66- or 80-gallons, we strongly recommend a tankless hot water heater. While traditional hot water tanks are compared based on gallon capacity, recovery rate and first hour rating, tankless hot water heaters are compared based on flow rate. As long as the home uses hot water at a flow rate below the tankless heaterâs maximum flow rate, there is no ârecoveryâ. For practical purposes, first hour usage is unlimited. Flow rate for a tankless water heater is measured in gallons per minute, based on a given heat rise (typically 25 or 50 degrees) and range from 4 gallons per minute to 8 gallons per minute. A unit that heats 4 gallons per minute can handle a shower plus one appliance operating at the same time.
