A method for heating water, in particular for producing hot water from unheated water, with a device (1) according to one of claims 1 to 15 or an arrangement according to one of claims 16 to 19, comprising the following steps: - introducing pressurised, in particular unheated, water into the cavity (10) via the water connection device (11), - opening the valve device (15) so that air present in the cavity (10) is displaced by the introduced water and escapes, - closing the valve device (15) as soon as the cavity (10) is filled, in particular completely, with water, - introducing an energy source into the combustion chamber (8) and igniting the energy source so that the water present in the cavity (10) is heated by the combustion chamber (8), in particular by the combustion of the energy source taking place in the combustion chamber (8), - Setting a pre-determined water temperature in the range from 0 °C to 45 °C using the mixing valve (13), - Opening the valve device (15) as soon as the water temperature in the cavity (10) is above the predetermined water temperature, in particular 0.5 °C, 1 °C, 2 °C, 3 °C, 4 °C and / or 5 °C above the predetermined water temperature, or is equal to the predetermined water temperature, so that in the mixing valve (13) the water discharged from the cavity (10) by the water withdrawal device (12) and heated by the combustion chamber (8), in particular by the combustion of the energy source taking place in the combustion chamber (8), is mixed with the water supplied through the water connection device (11), in particular unheated, in such a way that the water discharged through the service water withdrawal device (14), in particular the hot water, has the water temperature predetermined, in particular by the mixing valve.

21. Method according to claim 20, characterized in that - that the device (1) comprises a feeding device (29) and a discharge device (30), - that the supply device (29) and the discharge device (30) are connected to the cavity (10) of the device (1) and the bathing device, in particular the bathtub or the bathing barrel, - that the supply device (29) and the discharge device (30) are designed and connected to the cavity (10) and the bathing device in such a way that the water flows by gravity from the cavity (10) to the bathing device and back again, - that heated water is supplied to the bathing device by the supply device (29) from the cavity (10) through the combustion chamber (8), in particular by the combustion of the energy source taking place in the combustion chamber (8), - and that water, in particular cooled water, is supplied to the cavity (10) by the discharge device (30) from the bathing device.
