A control system for a fuel-fired water heater appliance is provided that includes a control for the appliance that is in communicating with a sensor for sensing a water flow rate through the water heater. The control system is capable of controlling a gas valve to supply fuel to a burner at a maximum rate of fuel flow when the water flow rate is determined to be above a predetermined threshold. The control system is capable of controlling the gas valve to supply fuel to a burner at a reduced rate of fuel flow when the water flow rate is below a predetermined threshold, whereby the control 128 establishes the lower rate of heating operation as long as the temperature of the heated water is below the predetermined maximum temperature.
