You could literally run your shower all day long and the water would never turn cold! Various models are available to suit the unique demands of every home. In some instances, flow rates of up to 8 gallons per minute can be achieved with the most powerful models! (using Tempra 36 model in warm climate areas).
Space Saving Size
Conventional tank heaters are bulky, consuming valuable square footage that could be put to better use. The tankless solution is the way to go if space is a problem. Who wouldn't want to make use of that valuable floor space, especially in condos, apartments, and other homes where space is at a premium?

Eliminate the tank and you eliminate the possibility of mineral and sediment deposits. - the scourge of a conventional tank system.
Increased Safety
Each year approximately 3,800 injuries and 34 deaths occur in homes across North America due to scalding from overheated tap water. The majority of these accidents involve the elderly and children under the age of five. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission urges all users to lower their tank water heaters to 120 degrees, however, this often results in cold showers after very limited use. The Stiebel Eltron tankless water heater supplies endless amounts of hot water at a specific temperature as set by the homeowner regardless of flow rate (we recommend a setting of 105 to 110F).
Environmentally Friendly
The generation of electrical power through the burning of fossil fuels or the construction of hydroelectric dams creates significant and lasting environmental degradation. The reduction of energy use in the household is the single greatest contribution that we as homeowners can make to reduce these impacts. It has been estimated that 20-30% of household power consumption is for domestic hot water. Tankless water heaters will help you reduce power consumption on your hot water heating costs by up to 50%. Furthermore, since a tankless water heater lasts up to 5 times longer than a conventional tank type water heater and is far smaller, you will also be reducing the burden on our landfills.
