Typical domestic uses of hot water include cooking, cleaning, bathing, and space heating. ... Domestically, water is traditionally heated in vessels known as water heaters, kettles, cauldrons, pots, or coppers. These metal vessels that heat a batch of water do not produce a continual supply of heated water at a preset temperature. ... Appliances that provide a continual supply of hot water are called water heaters, hot water heaters, hot water tanks, boilers, heat exchangers, geysers, or calorifiers. ... In domestic installations, potable water heated for uses other than space heating is also called domestic hot water (DHW)." [Water heating.
