Luckily, Noritz has a solution that'll make your life easier - the NRCR92-DV-NG natural gas water heater! This amazing water heater comes equipped with an integrated recirculating pump that ensures hot water is always available when you need it. Plus, it prevents cold water from being wasted. It's perfect for bigger homes and wider spaces since it enables a 1/2 inch loop with a 200-foot length or 3/4” up to 500 feet for radiant systems, the longest distance available in the industry. You've got three recirculation modes to choose from with this tankless water heater: Recirculation Mode (with a dedicated return line), On-Demand Mode (requires the IHK-GB or IHK-RS), and Crossover Mode (requires the CSV-BPK) which allows for more flexibility during operation. Now, if you're worried about how complicated this water heater is to operate with all of its features, don't worry. You can control it wirelessly on your smart device with the NWC-ADAPTER (sold separately) and it practically runs itself with a default Learning Mode that helps with scheduling. This heater is highly efficient with a 0.97 UEF rating, which is one of the best energy factors in the tankless market today. It also has a revolutionary burner (the first in the industry) that reduces effective BTU output to less than 10 KBTU during summer when the incoming water temperature is high. With a BTU rating that can range from as low as 18K to 199,900 BTU per hour, this 73lb. hot water heater has an impressive maximum flow rate of 9.2 gallons per minute and can hold 0.85 gallon (or 3.2 L) of water for even quicker hot water access.

Learning Mode: With the new learning mode in the NRCR your tankless will learn your habits based off your daily use and turn on the recirculation pump when you need it.
Dual Stainless Steel Heat Exchanger: The NRCR has two stainless steel heat exchangers that have a greater resistance to corrosion and scale buildup than other materials, thereby boosting system life.
