If your home has 1 bathroom, a Rheem Tankless RTG2-42 series water heater
should provide an ample supply of continuous hot water. If your home has 1-2
bathrooms, you should consider a Rheem Tankless RTG-53 series water heater. For up to 3
bathroom homes, the larger Rheem Tankless RTG-74 series water heater should be selected. For
homes with more than 3 bathrooms, large volume demands for hot water, or hot
water circulating systems, you should choose our Rheem Tankless GT-199 heavy-duty water
