If you use an electric water heater at home, you should pay attention to: Remember two safety knowledge and be able to prevent explosions at critical moments
A few years ago, when my family lived on the top floor, I used the solar water heater at home. However, because the outdoor weather is too cold in winter, there is often no way to use hot water. Sometimes the water pipes of the solar water heater will have frozen cracks because they are too cold.
So after changing to a new house, my house was replaced with electric water heater . The electric water heater can use hot water when plugged in, and it will not be affected by the outdoor temperature, which seems particularly convenient.
However, recently I have also seen some news on the Internet about the incorrect use of electric water heater and exploded . Although the probability of the electric water heater explosion is very small, once the explosion problem occurs, it will also cause great harm to us.
For this reason, I also specially checked out the issues that need to be paid attention to when using electric water heaters. Today I will share them with you.
If you use electric water heaters at home, please pay attention to: Remember 2 safety common sense and be able to prevent explosions at critical moments!
① Regularly clean and repair electric water heaters
Friends who have used electric water heaters at home should know that electric water heaters will produce certain scale inside the heating process.
If the electric water heater in our home has never been cleaned, then these scales will slowly cover the inner liner of the electric water heater.
If there is too much scale built into the electric water heater, it will cause the hot water flowing out of the electric water heater to be affected to a certain extent. This is also why some friends always feel itchy after taking a shower with the electric water heater at home.
In addition, if there is too much scale, it will also cause blockage of the electric water heater. scale will slowly block the water outlet of the electric water heater, causing the water flow to become smaller and smaller, which will not only affect our use, but also affect the normal work of the electric water heater.
If the scale has not been processed, it will also affect the normal heating speed of the electric water heater, and may shorten the work of the electric water heater. Colleagues also have certain safety hazards.
So everyone should pay attention to it. must regularly clean the electric water heater at home . If the water quality of tap water is not good, it needs to be cleaned even more.
If the tap water is not good, it will also increase the scale.
In addition, while cleaning, you also need to regularly check the relevant parts of the electric water heater.
electric water heater has some safety switches to prevent explosion and leakage, but if these related components are damaged, it cannot guarantee its safety. We also have safety risks when using electric water heaters.
Therefore, you must regularly check some parts of the electric water heater, and replace and repair the damaged areas in a timely manner.
, especially the leakage protection switch, overheating protector, one-way pressure relief valve and other devices of electric water heaters must be carefully inspected.
②The use time of electric water heater should not exceed 8 years
Normally, all household appliances in our home are with a certain service life. If the specified use time exceeds the specified use time, it may be aging and damage. not only will the working efficiency of the appliances decrease, but also have greater safety hazards.
has clearly stipulated in the "Safe Use Period of Water Storage Electric Water Heater": the maximum safe service life of electric water heaters is 8 years.
That is to say, if the electric water heater in our home has been used for more than 8 years, some aging may occur, which will pose greater safety hazards.
Many friends, especially some elders' electric water heaters, have actually been used for many years. Everyone always thinks that there is no problem if the electric water heater is powered on and can be heated, and there is no need to be replaced.
But in fact, the electric water heater that seems to have no problems with also poses great risks once it exceeds its service life.
If the electric water heater exceeds its service life, it is very likely that there will be leakage accidents. However, when we take a bath or use hot water, there are also great safety hazards, especially for children and the elderly at home.
Electric water heaters that have exceeded their service life are like a time bomb, which is very likely to threaten our lives , so it is recommended that everyone pay attention to the use time of the electric water heater at home.
If the electric water heater at home has been used for a long time, it is best to replace it with a new electric water heater, which will be safer.
Summary:
Although electric water heaters are very convenient to use, there are also certain safety hazards. Everyone should pay attention to the above safety knowledge when using electric water heaters in daily life, and never be lucky.
