Ground water
temperature factor.
The temperature of incoming
ground water (cold water inlet
temperature) varies greatly
throughout the U.S. and also
fluctuates with change of season.
The temperature of water as it
enters the water heater will
determine the amount of
“temperature rise” required to
achieve the desired hot water
outlet temperature (120°F is
recommended).
The best way to measure your
incoming ground water temperature
is to use a thermometer to measure
cold water temperature during the
coldest season of the year. To
simplify the process, use this map to
determine whether your installation
location is in the Southern Zone,
Central Zone or Northern Zone.
Peak hot water demand.
The next step is to determine how
much hot water will be required
during the busiest usage period
(“peak demand”). To use the chart,
consider all appliances and fixtures
that use hot water including
lavatory faucets, kitchen faucets,
washing machines, dishwashers,
showers and bathtubs. Be sure to
determine how many appliances
and fixtures will be used at the
same time (“peak demand”).
