What it delivers
The LiberLive RE13K 13 kW Electric Tankless Water Heater is a compact electric tankless rated at 13 kW on 240 volts. Its listing gives a maximum flow of 3.1 GPM.
Flow depends on how cold the incoming water is. Our estimate from its input: 2.0 GPM at a 45°F rise, falling to 1.3 GPM at 70°F, which is less than one 2 GPM shower on a cold-climate winter day. Size it to your fixtures.
At 240 volts 13 kW is about 54 amps. The maker calls for 60‑amp double‑pole circuit breaker. A licensed electrician confirms the panel, the service and the wire before it goes in.
Electric tankless units need no venting and no gas, and work best where inlet water stays mild, because every degree of rise costs flow.
Also on the listing: material: Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene, Aluminum, Brass; model: RE13K.
The listing gives dimensions of 7.9 in (W) x 11 in (H) and a weight of 5 lb.
