Instant water heater

An instant water heater, comprising:

• a housing comprising a base, a plurality of sidewalls extending upwardly therefrom, and a top wall defining an interior volume;
• a transparent reservoir disposed within the housing and configured to store liquid water therein, the reservoir comprising an inlet and an outlet;
• a plurality of infrared lights disposed around a perimeter of the reservoir;
• a plurality of reflectors disposed around each infrared light, wherein an interior surface of each reflector comprises a reflective surface configured to direct light from each infrared light to the reservoir;
• wherein each reflector comprises a base portion and a pair of curved wings extending outwardly therefrom, wherein a distal end of each wing contacts an outer surface of the reservoir;
• a temperature sensor configured to measure the temperature of water within the reservoir;
• a flow sensor configured to measure the flow rate at the inlet and outlet of the reservoir;
• a pressure sensor configured to measure the water pressure of water within the reservoir;
• a control circuit operably connected to the infrared lights, wherein the control circuit is configured to receive input commands and selectively activate the plurality of infrared lights in order to heat liquid water within the reservoir.
