Abstract
An electric water heater has a base, a tank mounted on the base, a partition wall mounted in the tank to divide the tank into a heating chamber and a reservoir and at least one electric heating element extending into the heating chamber. A cool-water supply pipe extends into the heating chamber to supply cool water to the tank when a user uses the hot water stored in the reservoir, This can immediately provide unlimitedly hot water at a desired high temperature to a user. In addition, the space for locating the tank can also be reduced. The convenience of using and locating the water heater can be improved.
