I have a Rinnai Continuum. I would recommend this unit if your house has only 1 or 2 bathrooms. The flow rate depends entirely on the input water temperature and the seleted output water temperature. For 54 degree F rise (from 66 to 120) this unit can provide 6.2 GPM, that is 3 shower heads (2.5 GPM) and 1 faucet. I like to simply selecet a 108 degree shower with the handy control unit (you can wire 3 of these) and turn on only the hot valve. No water temperature fluxuations at all. If I select a higher temperature, and mix for the shower, and someone opens several hot taps full force, I would notice, but this is true for any water tank as well. Select the right unit for the job and you will not be disapointed. Be sure the unit can handle the job (high energy) and has regulation (thermostat) to modulate both the flame and flow (when flame is maxed out) for a constant output temperature.
