    If you depress the handle on a typical hot water dispenser how long can you hold it down for and still get hot water?

    Until it is empty. There is an equation that I am not bored enough to write.

    Someone changed the title here. If you’re refering to the under-sink heaters designed to replace a kettle, the ones with metal levers usually hold 2/3 gallon (60 cups per hour) and the plastic levered ones hold 1/3 gallon (40 cups per hour).

    It depends on the wattage, and on the cleanliness of your water. The ISE is not designed as an instantaneous heater, since it has a tank. And the heating element is subject to decline with corrosion. If there is lime and magnesium in your water, the reheat time will get increasingly long. It also depends on the temperature of the incoming water and effiency of heat exchange.
