<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a storage water heater that can reduce reheating operations and can reduce loss by heat radiation by eliminating unnecessary hot water storage. <P>SOLUTION: The storage water heater comprises time measuring means 31 for measuring the time of a heating operation under hot water exhaustion, comparing means 33 for comparing the time measured by the time measuring means 31 with a preset predetermined time, and determining means 34 for determining that a heated water quantity is insufficient if the comparing means 33 find the measured time exceeding the predetermined time. If the determining means 34 determine that the heated water quantity is insufficient, heated quantity learning means 40 change a water temperature level to a higher setting. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI |
