<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent scale deposition easily generated when water quality hardness of well water or the like is high. <P>SOLUTION: This heat pump type water heater B includes: a heat pump unit A on the side of a heat source, having a refrigeration cycle; a water tank 7 storing water; a water supply pipe 8 supplying water from the outside into the water tank; a water circulation pipe 9 communicating with the bottom and upper portion of the water tank; an absorption heat exchanger 10 located in the middle of the water circulation pipe and absorbing heat from the heat pump unit on the side of the heat source; and a hot-water supply line 12 supplying hot water in the upper part of the water tank to the outside. The water supply pipe is branched into a plurality of water supply routes, a first water supply route 8a supplying water supplied from the outside into the water tank as it is and a second water supply route 8b supplying water from the outside into the water tank after water quality is improved through a water quality adjustment unit so that scale is not easily generated. Either or both of the water supply routes are used depending on the water quality of water to be supplied. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT |
