Abstract

A water heater, comprising a storage unit that holds a first volume of water and which has a mains conduit that connects to a mains water supply, and a storage heating element to heat the first volume of water to a temperature between room temperature and boiling point, the water heater also having a boiling unit, adjoining the storage unit and adapted to hold a second volume of water and having a boiling heating element adapted to heat and maintain the second volume of water at a high temperature in use, the boiling unit also including a dispensing mechanism to allow a user to draw off water from the boiling unit, the heater having a connection conduit that runs between the storage unit and the boiling unit, so that the boiling unit can receive water from the storage unit, the boiling unit and the storage unit separated by an airgap.
