What it delivers
The Titan N85 8.5 kW Point-of-Use Tankless Water Heater is a point-of-use electric tankless rated at 8.5 kW on 220 volts. Its listing gives a maximum flow of 2.3 GPM.
Expect about 0.8 GPM with cold winter water (a 70°F rise) and 1.3 GPM when the inlet is milder (45°F rise); that is less than one 2 GPM shower in January. Check your house in the planner.
At 220 volts 8.5 kW is about 39 amps. The requirement calculator shows it at 208 V too; an electrician confirms the panel.
Point-of-use units go under or beside one sink, where a short pipe run means hot water in seconds.
