Q. Can I use point-of-use water heaters for applications other than a sink?

A5. Yes. Because storage tank water heaters store a finite amount of water, when that amount is used up as your shower goes cold and you have to wait for the heater to heat the water back up (this is known as recovery time).

Because a tankless water heater heats the water as it passes through the heater, you can never run out, provided flow limitations are not exceeded (see our Sizing Guide to find the right model for you). Flow limitations are basically based on individual models. For example one model may have a flow off say 20 gallons per use (or per minute), after which the heater will shut off the prevent burnout.

So if you want let's say a very volume of hot water (maybe you are a millionnaire), then upgrade to a better model that will give you more gallons of hot water per instance.
