The purpose of it is to generate hot water for direct use, as opposed to a boiler or furnace which heats water to create steam or to circulate through radiators. It is a "heater" that produces "hot water" as such it is not redundant.

It’ll heat any water cooler than its thermostat setting.

Quoted: Under normal operation, cold water enters the tank, and is more or less instantly brought up to tank temp without the tank doing any work. When the tank drops to 2-3 degrees below thermostat temp, it heats the water. If the thermostat is set to 120, it's heating the tank water when it is 117-118 degrees. 117 degree water is hot. Thus, it is a hot water heater. Not if it's a tankless on demand heater. |

It’s a water heater. Regardless of what temp the water is inside the tank, if that water is being heated, it’s heating water.

That's obviously redundant. But saying hot water heater while referring to a tanked unit is not technically redundant nor incorrect. Just saying. "Hot" is a relative expression and is defined by the user setting on the water heater. Thus any water below the set temperature is not HOT and needs to be heated. In conclusion, "Water Heater" is technically correct and adding "hot" as a description is redundant and incorrect. |

Thus, it is a hot water heater. No OP, why would you heat..."hot water"? Especially if the water that enters, per your description....is cold. The only instance I can see this..."logic" is if the water made it to your definition or hot at 117 deg then you heated it more...and that's just not how this works. Do you put toast in a toaster, or bread? The heater's sole purpose is to "heat" incoming cold water, thus a "water heater" You aren't supplying hot water to a water heater. |
