There are so many ways to heat hot water, but only one really good way by Titan Tankless Heater. Endless hot water for the taking.

Cyn's favorite heater: The Titan SCR2 N-120

"Bob, yer kidding right? I paid you for the water heater Saturday morning, it arrived Monday mid-morning, was installed Monday night and I think I'm in love with you! It's incredible, I wish I needed more of them, I'd definately BUY them. Thank you so so much! Cyn"

I asked Cyn if I could quote her & her e-mail received:

"Of course you can-but there's one thing your auction didn't say about it, that's a huge selling point for me. After 3 days of no hot water and 4 teens in the house, there was a mad dash for the showers. I won, but half way through my shower 1 of the boys went and got in the other shower. I lost some water pressure but I never lost HOT water. I was amazed!! You have a truly awesome product Bob. Thank you again, Cyn"

Demand or instant tankless water heaters are rated by the maximum temperature rise possible at a given flow rate in gallons per minute (gpm) in this country. To size a tankless heater such as the Titan to your home then you will need to determine the flow rate and the temperature rise that you need for your home.

Start off by listing the number of hot water devices you expect to use at any one time. Be a little on the conservative side, you will probably not have two showers, a faucet, clothes washer and the dishwasher going all at once. With this in mind, add up the flow rates in gpm for items you might run. This is the flow rate you will want for your tankless hot water heater. For example, if you expect to run a hot water faucet with a flow rate of 0.75 gpm and a shower with a 1.5 gpm rated shower head then add the two numbers from both items for a total water flow of around 2.25 gpm. That is two and one quarter gallons per minute of hot water needed. Well made, low flow shower heads offer a good shower for the water used. The effect will show in your water bill as well.

To determine temperature rise, then you will need to simply subtract your incoming water temperature from the desired output temperature of the Titan using the Heat Rise Chart. Assume that the incoming water temperature is 55^oF (10^oC), unless you are aware of the water temperature in your community. If you want 105^oF hot water then you will need to subtract 55^oF from 105^oF. The resulting temperature of 50^o F is the heat rise that is needed from your new Titan. Take a look at the Heat Rise Chart below and determine the number of gallons per minute needed by your home or business with that minimum heat rise of 50^oF. Using this heat rise chart will help you determine the Titan reqired. A quick note here, for all practical purposes, water between 105^oF and 120^oF should be adequate for most home use. We suggest that customers to keep the thermostat on the Titan on a setting that is hotter than you can stand in the shower. You are not showering with your old tank style heater any longer when you own a Titan. Use very little cold water to control and take the perfect shower. People normally keep their tank heaters very, very hot so the hot water can be diluted with cold incoming water. Yes this does extend their hot water supply for a few minutes. Using this scenario, one tank might supply one or perhaps two showers before running out of hot water. The old tank heater has to maintain a high temperature all day long, every day for two showers! Not with a tankless by Titan. Keep the temperature down and save energy. Do not use much cold water to cool off the hot water. You will save more energy by not heating water to excessive temperatures. And, you will not need to turn on large amounts of cold water just to cool your hot water back down. Less cold water will result in a little bit of water savings as well. Remember, 105^oF to 120^oF is a reasonable hotwater output for practically all residential purposes. What about the dishwasher? Many good dishwashers have their own heating coil for a really a steamy, hot wash and rinse. If yours does not, then you might want to add on a secondary smaller piggy-back or in tandem tankless heater. Several models are available for this add-on point of use or tandem service on our "Order" page link. Note that in many states, more than one tankless water heater may be needed by your home depending on the hot water needs, incoming water temperature supply and the size of your tankless heater. Please try not to be conservative and buy a small heater just because it is the cheap way to go. Use our heat rise and flow charts, your incoming water temperature and your needs and pick the right one just for you. Hopefully you will not have to buy another water heater for a long, long time. Get what you need to be a happy Titan customer. The U.S. Department of Energy says that the life span of a tank style heater is around ten years. They also go on to say that the life expectancy of a tankless heater is around twenty years. By all means, get what you need for now and hopefully the next twenty years.

Titan products are easy to install practically anywhere. . .

Size Your Tankless Water Heater

Use this quick for formula to find out which tankless water you need:

Subtract your incoming water temperature from the hot water temperature you desire for your home. This is considered the heat rise. Now, take the heat rise and multiply by 147. This number is the watts required to raise a gallon of water one degree F° on an instantaneous basis. Then multiply again by the number of gallons of hot water you need for your home. Divide that figure by 1000. The remaining number is the size of the tankless heater you need in kilowatts. The Titan N120 is an 11.8 kilowatt heater. The N180 and N210 are 18 and 21 kilowatts respectively.

Let's give this a try in the following example: You want 105 degree water for use in your home. You only have 70 degree water coming in though. The difference between the two is the heat rise your tankless water must produce to reach the desired temperature you want. Multiply your 35 heat rise needed of 35 degrees by 147. That equals 5145 watts. You figure that one shower is 1.5 to 2.5 gallons per minute. A tub is usually around 2.5 to 3 gallons of hot water per minute. Let's be conservative and use 2.5 gallons per minute to fill a bath tub. The answer then becomes 12863 watts. Divide this by 1000 and your final answer is 12.9 kilowatts. Well, the closest is N120 SCR2 at 11.8 kilowatts. You might want to piggy-back a smaller unit to make up the difference. Or, for the extra insurance, go for the N180 SCR4. We always tell people to use more, rather than less when buying a tankless unit. Remember to make sure you have the power required for these units. We suggest 150 amps in your service panel for the N120 SCR2. The larger N180 and N210 SCR4 models really need the 200 amp service found in most modern homes.

Please note that the above example is simply that...a sample of how the physics of heating hot water on an instantaneous basis works. Of course, your incoming water temperature and the number of gallons per minute you use with your tankless project is unique for you. Please, please...do not guess at what you need! Research out your needs and the appropriate tankless for your situation. We are authorized dealers for units all the way up to 27 kilowatts, microprocessor controlled hot water production and a lifetime warranty with these alternative units. Call us for details if you actually need more hot water than your Titan can produce.
