It's basically just an enclosed water heater with a thermal cutout and a pressure activated switch that activates the unit when the water is flowing. The heater has fixed power output, and temperature is controlled by water flow rate.

In the past it was common to have gas heated sink-water heaters which were called Geysers. My gran had one.

eBay sometimes has obscure bits from older devices.

We had a shower that the pressure relief popped while in use. No misuse of the shower, it just popped and water spraying out of a very unusual place in the shower unit. Unfortunately, the shower manufacturer (a very well known make) went out of business only weeks before this happened. When I checked the pressure relief, it was just a polystyrene disk. I tried other polystyrene disks, but the hot water just melted them within a few seconds. Guess what we did with the pressure relieve!

My father had one of these in the outdoor cludgie of his builder's yard - called it his "geyser". I wonder if that was a generic term or a trade name..
