Not much different than saying hot water heater.
Yeah, I've always wondered why one would *heat* *hot water* - it's really a 'water heater' instead of 'hot water heater'. I know, some architects still show them on the plans as HWH, and some older-than-I-am old fogies still call them 'hot water heaters', but this is the 'post-ice-age' where we have progressed beyond starting fires by rubbing two sticks together.
