The RE340S6 hot water heater has a First Hour Rating or First Hour Delivery of 49 gallons. Basically, the First Hour Rating means how much hot water the hot water heater can deliver in an hour of use, starting with a fully heated tank. It does not mean that the hot water will last for one hour. As the cold water enters the tank it is heated, the faster you use your hot water, the faster your water will become tepid and then cold. However, depending on your temperature set point and your household's water use you can calculate how much hot water you need during your busiest hour. As you use the water in the tank, it is continuously being replenished and heated.
The Energy Factor (EF) is used to determine the energy efficiency of the hot water heater. Recover efficiency, stand-by loss and cycling loss are all included in the energy factor. Typically, the higher the energy factor, the more efficient the water heater. Cost of fuel however, will have an impact on annual operating costs.
An example of a 50 gallon peak demand might look like this:
- 2 showers (10 x 2 = 20 gallons)
- 2 baths (15 x 2 = 30 gallons)
This household would probably want a hot water heater with a first hour rating of between 46 and 55 gallons.
Another important feature when choosing a hot water heater is the Recovery Rise. A 90° recovery rise for this tank is about 21 minutes. In other words, when the cold water enters the hot water tank, it will take just about 20 minutes to rise 90° inside the tank. All Bradford White hot water heaters are NAECA Compliant.
