Tempra® Trend & Tempra® Plus Whole House Sizing Guide
Tempra® Trend & Tempra® Plus Tankless Electric Water Heater Sizing Guide
1 Use the map to find the approximate ground
water temperature where you live.
2 Check the column on the table with your
ground water temperature to see how many
fixtures can be supplied at the same time with
hot water.
3 Use your actual maximum flow rate to fine-
tune these recommendations. If you know you
have 1.5 GPM low flow showerheads, for
instance, then 3 GPM would supply 2 showers
at the same time, or 1 shower plus 1 sink, etc.
