Continuous Hot Water When You Need It
Continuous Flow gas water heaters deliver hot water that will never run out as they heat water when you need it, for as long as you need it. Continuous Flow water heaters work differently to storage water heaters, heating only on demand rather than heating and storing water until needed.

Your Rheem will be serving you for many years, so make sure you choose the right capacity to meet your needs now and as your family grows:
