Questions & Answers

What's a recommendation for a 120v tankless water heater that could support a conservative shower maybe 120 degrees for a quick warm shower
ByJun 20, 2026
1 Answer | 
Answer This Question

Hi, A 120‑volt tankless water heater cannot support a real shower, including a “conservative” or “quick warm” shower at 120°F. Even the strongest 120V units only heat 0.5–1.0 GPM, which is far below the 1.5–2.0 GPM needed for a usable shower. This is a physics limitation, not a brand limitation. Derius

    Can this support a bathtub fill that is also using a tanked water heater?
    ByMay 27, 2026
    1 Answer | 
    Answer This Question

    Hi, No, the RTEH2412 cannot support filling a bathtub, even if you also have a tank‑type water heater. This model is for small sinks only and cannot assist with bathtub filling, even when used alongside a tank‑type water heater. Derius

      How much gallons does it holds?
      ByMay 26, 2026
      1 Answer | 
      Answer This Question

      Hi, It doesn’t hold any gallons, the RTEH2412 is a tankless unit, so its storage capacity is 0 gallons. It heats water on demand as it flows through the heater rather than storing any in a tank. Because it’s only 2.4 kW at 120 volts, it’s designed for very small point‑of‑use applications like a single sink, not whole‑home use. Derius

        Will it heat a shower and sink?
        ByApr 22, 2026
        1 Answer | 
        Answer This Question

        Hi Deborah, No, the RTEH3512 cannot heat a shower. It is only designed for a single sink/hand‑washing fixture. At 3.5 kW and 120 volts, it does not produce enough temperature rise or flow for a shower. Derius

          Can I use this for a shower

          1 Answer | 
          Answer This Question

          Hi Kaylon, No, the RTEH3512 cannot be used for a shower. The RTEH3512 (3.5 kW, 120‑V) is designed only for handwashing and other very low‑flow point‑of‑use fixtures. It cannot produce enough hot water for a shower under any conditions. Derius

              Can two or three of these 3.5kW (120v) tankless water heaters be piped in parallel to get enough flow for a shower? Would more than 3 be needed?
              ByFeb 2, 2026
              1 Answer | 
              Answer This Question

              Hi, No, this is the wrong product for a shower, even if you use 2–3 (or more) in parallel. Derius

              By|Feb 4, 2026


                I have a small camper, current hot water tank is 6 gallons, would this work if I installed it after my hot water tank and would it pick up after I ran out of hot water to get a longer shower.

                Answer This Question

                Hi, Not effectively. The RTEH3512 (3.5 kW, 120V tankless) is designed for hand sinks or very low‑flow fixtures, not showers. Derius

                  Hi,

                  Thank you for sharing your feedback, Jerry. We’re very sorry to hear the heating element failed on the first day. That’s incredibly disappointing, especially with a brand‑new unit. We appreciate you taking the time to let us know about your experience.

                  The unit ended up being too small for my application and wouldn't heat the water sufficiently. When I tried to replumb to use only hot water the unit failed, so I returned it.

                  Hi Larry,

                  We are really sorry to hear about your experience with your Water Heater. It must have been frustrating to find out it was too small for your needs and then have it fail when you tried to adjust it. Your feedback is important, and we hope you find a more suitable solution soon. Thank you for sharing your experience.
