Claim:
A combination water dispenser with user activated hot water on a required basis heating mechanism consisting essentially of: (a) a reservoir for accommodating both room temperature water and hot water having an automatic inlet means for replenishing water into the reservoir and a controlled water outlet means for dispensing both room temperature water and hot water from the reservoir; (b) a reservoir heating element within the reservoir operable from an applied electric current for heating the water within the reservoir; (c) an indicating means for indicating the activation and deactivation of the reservoir heating element; (d) an user actuated means adapted to simultaneously activate the reservoir heating element and the indicating means; (e) a temperature regulating means responsive to a pre-determined temperature of the water; and (f) an automatic deactivation means adapted to deactivate the reservoir heating element upon receiving a signal from the temperature regulating means that the predetermined temperature of water has been reached until re-activation by means of the user actuated means.
