I suspect that this may be a domestic "instant" boiling water tap as heavily advertised on TV at present.
These consist of a very small insulated pressurised hot water tank holding perhaps a litre of boiling water, typically installed under a kitchen worktop.

The stored boiling water may be drawn off almost instantly to prepare hot drinks or instant soup etc.

Once the whole contents have been used, a delay of some minutes results whilst the relatively low loading element heats more.

Catering or industrial versions exist but these have much higher loadings, I have seen a 28Kw unit.
