<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a hot water storage type water heater capable of preventing a hot water supply pressure to a mist nozzle 64 from being lower than a prescribed pressure for misting. <P>SOLUTION: Flow rate counters 22, 32 and flow rate adjustment valves 65, 66 are disposed on the way of hot water supply passages 21, 24, and a control portion 42 adjusts flow rates by flow rate adjustment valves 65, 66 so that the total flow rate detected by the flow rate counters 22, 32 does not over a prescribed value. Accordingly, the flow rate is adjusted by detecting the total flow rate from the flow rate counter 22 and the flow rate counter 32 for hot water supply, and driving the hot water supply-side flow rate adjustment valve 65 and the bath-side flow rate adjustment valve 66, so that the flow rate is not over the prescribed value (for example, 15 L/min). Thus the hot water supply pressure (flow rate) at a side of the hot water supply passage 61 for mist can be kept to be more than the prescribed value, and a misting function is not adversely affected. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT |
