The average shower temperatures are between 98°F-105°F. The chart is based on a 220V input voltage and maximum flow rates are listed for various incoming water temperatures.

Inlet Water Temperature |
40°F | 45°F | 50°F | 55°F | 60°F | 65°F | 70°F | 75°F | 80°F |
| ECO 11 | 1.3 GPM | 1.3 GPM | 1.5 GPM | 1.7 GPM | 1.9 GPM | 2.0 GPM | 2.3 GPM | 2.7 GPM | 3.0 GPM |
| ECO 8 | .75 GPM | .80 GPM | 1.0 GPM | 1.2 GPM | 1.3 GPM | 1.4 GPM | 1.5 GPM | 2.0 GPM | 2.2 GPM |
| ECO 6 | .25 GPM | .40 GPM | .60 GPM | .75 GPM | 1.0 GPM | 1.2 GPM | 1.4 GPM | 1.5 GPM | 1.7 GPM |
If you typically use about 2.5 gallons per minute ( 1showers with water saver showerheads and hand sink) at the same time, find the 2.5 GPM on the chart or the number closes to it. If the number is highlighted in GREEN, that means it's the correct model for you. It it's highlighted in YELLOW, that means you can get by with it. If it's highlighted in RED, you should consider a model a step or two up.

Breaker size and wire gauge must meet all applicable local, state, provincial, and national electrical codes for your area - these are only guidelines that will apply to most installations. Some codes require use of electrical sub-panel for installation, especially when heater is not mounted within line-of-sight of the main electrical panel. Wiring should be sized to maintain a voltage drop of less than 3% under load. Please consult your electrician for more details.
The above specifications are only guidelines. If your home is already equipped with a large number of electrical appliances, you may require a larger electrical service than the one recommended above. Please consult an electrician before placing an order.
If your home does not have the minimum household electrical service as specified for your desired model, you can still purchase an ECOSMART tankless water heater, however, upgrades to your electrical service will likely be required. It is recommended that you consult your certified electrician for a quote, prior to purchasing.
