(1000 sf house)** A: Hello- Sizing an electric tankless is very difficult. I always recommend that you call Rheem at 800-432-8373 to get a suggestion. I want to say this will only keep up with ONLY 1 source of hot water at any one given time. That being said, the RTEX-18 performance ( @240V )- 1.5GPM - 82degree rise 2.0GPM - 62degree rise 2.5GPM - 49degree rise 3.0GPM - 41degree rise So.... what it can keep up with all depends on: -the temp of water coming into the house -the flow rate of each faucet/shower head/washing machine/source of hot water -outlet temp desired I hope this helped :) Ben **Q: How many amps** A: Paperwork says it requires four 40 amp breakers or two DP 40 amp breakers. Max draw of 75 amps. **Q: Rheem rtex-18 be big enough to heat water in my shop to wash my hands and perhaps take a shower in kansas city, mo?** A: Yes you could even go with the unit rtex-15 one smaller if that's it. Good luck **Q: how many breakers and what amp.** A: The RTEX-18 (240 Volt) requires (2) 40 amp breakers and 8 AWG wire. ## Frequently Bought Together - Rheem 18kW 240V Tankless Electric Water Heater, Gray - HYDRO MASTER Tankless Water Heater Service Valve Kit with Pressure Relief Valve 3/4-Inch IPS Isolator Clean Brass - 3/4 Inch IPS Isolator Tankless Water Heater Service Valve Kit with Pressure Relief Valve, Clean Brass, 3/4 Inch Service Installation Valve for rheem,rinai,ecosmart,navien,noritz,takagi,bosch --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.es/products/38866492-rheem-18kw-240v-tankless-electric-water-heater-gray](https://www.desertcart.es/products/38866492-rheem-18kw-240v-tankless-electric-water-heater-gray) --- *Product available on Desertcart Spain* *Store origin: ES* *Last updated: 2026-07-07*
