minus-squareBronzie@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up10·8 months agoSerious question: why is it called a “hot water heater”? If anything, it heats cold water to make it hot. Why not just “water heater”?
minus-squareantlion@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·8 months agoI don’t know. I wanted to say “hot water on tap”, to differentiate from a tea kettle, which is also a water heater. But the prompt was about items you might purchase, and I’ve always called it a hot water heater.
