So if plan in replacement look at flow rate if you have to wait for hot water.

If you install a recirculating pump on your water heater, you can get hot water in about 5 seconds. The pump constantly circulates hot water through your system so the hot water is available practically on demand. The down side is that you may have to wait 30 seconds for cold water.
