For a kitchen sink? I don't think so....

He should be very pleased with it.



depends on what your doing with your kitchen sink.,..

wash hands? tankless may not turn on at all, low hand washing flow not
enough to trip it on.

long run washing pots and pans christmas day, too much flow to help
much.

personally i dont mind washing my hands in cold water.

OP might consider a sa\mall electric tank unit under sink if cold hand
washing is a problem. but note it will be hot water then warm, then
cold till the hot water arrves from the main tank ........

a recurcilating line and pump is the ideal solution


A point of use electric on demand water heater will heat water
continuously for as long as the water is running. With a 220
volt model, he should have hot water within three seconds of
turning on the water, even at very low flow. Especially at
very low flow. A trickle of water will cause the water heater
to come on.

I have installed about 20 of these and they all have worked
great. I have had no complaints from the owners.
