Just the “Latency Effect” described another way. Instant isn’t absolute, about a gallon of water has to cycle out of the apparatus, the therm switch has to kick on, then the burner comes to temp and you get your hot water in the home system. This isn’t the Jetson’s or Star Trek, but it is continuous.
