①, Bacteria
The water in the water heater is not used all year round, and it is very easy to breed bacteria in a stagnant state.
If we don’t use a water heater for a year, the water inside will remain fixed. Then in this state, various bacteria will be easily produced in the water, producing floating organisms, algae , etc.
These bacterial microorganisms will always exist in the water heater.
In this state, if we turn on the water heater and heat it up, many friends will find that they will have allergies and even itchy skin. This is caused by bacterial infection inside.
It can be said that taking a bath in a water heater that you don’t need for a year will make the more dirtier the more you wash it, and it will cause various skin diseases.
So from this point of view, the water heater is not used for a year, so you must put the water inside clean.
②, Impurity precipitation
Everyone does not know if you have observed the state of water, that is, if the water is in a fixed state, the precipitate will slowly accumulate at the bottom.
The same is true for home water heaters.
If we don’t use the water heater in our house for a year and the water inside is full, then all the impurities in the water heater will settle to the bottom of the water heater.
When we use the water heater again, the water heater may cause the water outlet to be very small, and some of them are completely blocked and there is no way to get out of water.
In this state, if we continue to use the water heater, it may cause damage to the water heater. It also causes serious damage to the inner liner of the water heater.
So, don’t use a water heater for a year, and you must not let the water be stored in it, but should be clean.
③, rust inside
water heater is not used all year round. When water is stored inside, some iron components inside are rusted.
The water storage and heater we use in our household still has a lot of iron components inside. During the working process of the water heater, the hot water will actually come into contact with these parts.
During normal working process, since water is also circulating live water, there is basically no rust.
However, if we don’t use it for a year, everyone knows that rust may occur at this time.
And there is a situation that is very serious, that is, the water in it is not full of water.
In this state, there is water and air in the water heater, so the chance of rusting is very high if it is exposed to humid air.
Therefore, if you do not use a water heater for a long time, it is generally necessary to put the water inside clean. If conditions permit, you can clean it once.
④, component damage
water heater will not be used for a long time, which will also cause some other situations. These situations may basically cause damage to the water heater and become unusable.
For example, the most common situation is that if water is stored inside the water heater without insulation, if the temperature is too low, it may freeze inside.
Ice in the water heater is very dangerous, which will basically cause damage to the water heater and may even be more likely to crack. In the end, the water heater may be scrapped and can only be replaced with a new one.
And if the water heater is not used for a long time, it may also cause damage to other parts. For example, there are rust reasons or damage caused by other reasons.
So, in order to ensure that the water heater can be used normally, it is recommended that you put the water in the water heater clean and not allow water to be stored inside.
⑤, water leakage and electricity leakage
water heater may be rusted or damaged inside.
If these situations occur, it may lead to leakage of electricity, water leakage and other conditions in the water heater.
For example, if water is stored in the inner vessel of the water heater for a long time, the water will deteriorate and corrode the inside of the water heater.
After these situations occur, they may cause leakage of internal components of the water heater.
Another serious situation is that you don’t have to worry about the water heater opening again for many years, and you find that water leaks along the inner liner. This is caused by corrosion and damage inside the water heater.
How to use the water heater correctly?
has been introduced to you above. If the water heater is not used all year round, it is recommended to put the water inside clean and try to keep the inside of the water heater in a dry state.
What should we pay attention to when using household water heaters? How can I clean the water? Maybe many friends and friends don’t know about these.
The following home furnishing miscellaneous house will introduce to you two ways to use water heaters and drain water.
①, Water Release Method
In fact, the drainage method of the water heater is very simple. The first thing we need to do is to disconnect the power supply of the water heater. Then close the valves for the water inlet and outlet of the water heater, that is, the two valves below must be closed to death.
Then all we need to do is unscrew an nut on the sewage outlet. At this time, you find that the water is flowing downward, so you should prepare a bucket for water collection in advance.
Everyone must pay attention to the temperature when draining. If it exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is not recommended for everyone to drain the water. Wait until the water temperature drops completely before draining.
Follow the above method until the internal water pressure is completely drained.
②, recommend using
household water heater. If there is no quality problem, it can generally be used for seven or eight years or even more than ten years.
However, when we usually use water heaters, we cannot only know how to use them, but not how to maintain and clean them. Like many families, they may have used the water heater until it is damaged, but they have not been maintained and cleaned.
Here I personally recommend that you can easily clean the household water heater once a year, and then do a comprehensive and thorough cleaning in about three years.
This not only extends the service life of the water heater, but also reduces power consumption. Moreover, the quality of the water produced is good, which is also beneficial to our health.
was written at the end of the article
household water storage water heater, but in fact, the usage method is not particularly complicated.
In normal times, it is necessary to ensure that the water inlet, outlet and exhaust valve are all open. After going out, you must cut off the power, close the inlet and return outlet, and drain the water.
Finally, in daily use, remember to clean and maintain the water heater.
