Instant hot water dispenser
They are usually small and portable and unlike regular dispensers, they do not have a separate hot tank for boiled water.
While this reduces power consumption, such dispensers are not suitable for heating large quantities of water and often need to be refilled.
A smaller unit which can be placed directly on top of the table for dispensing hot or cold water.
[3] Some tanks feature a 750 W heater that delivers up to 14 liters (60 U.S. cups) of water per hour at a temperature set by a dial.
Some models are equipped with a filtration system to remove contaminants, and can dispense hot or cool filtered water.
Advanced filtration systems can reduce chlorine taste, odor, sediment, toxic chemicals, heavy metals such as lead, and dangerous minerals.
They also remove sometimes dangerous parasites and protozoa such as cryptosporidium, although the high temperature prevents them from being a hazard in the hot water.
On the other hand, an instant hot water dispenser without a tank does not waste significant energy.
[citation needed] The hot water flow rate is approximately 20 litres per hour.
