PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a hot water storage type water heater heightening the pressure of hot and cold water from a terminal to discharge hot water in view of a problem of a bad feeling of use because of low pressure and a small discharge quantity of hot water regarding the hot water storage type water heater for heating a large quantity of water to store hot water and to supply hot water to a bathtub and a faucet. SOLUTION: A hot and cold water mixing valve 11 is constituted to connect by-pass piping 12 for supplying tap water before reduced in pressure to an intermediate part of a hot water line for supplying hot water from a hot water storage tank 2 to the hot and cold water mixing valve 11, without passing through a pressure reducing valve 3 from an intermediate part of water supply piping 1 supplying water to the pressure reducing valve 3. Tap water before reduced in pressure is thereby mixed into hot water stored in the hot water storage tank 2 to improve the pressure reduction of hot water of predetermined temperature obtained by the hot and cold water mixing valve 11.
