In the past, a water heater was enough for the whole family to take a shower. Now you have to cook several times a night because the weather is too cold and you want to rinse it.
It was cold before, and I was the happiest person to open a bathhouse. It was the season to get rich again, and I was so frustrated to receive money. Nowadays, it is water heater, bath heater, businesses are happy. People's lives are getting better and better. More and more people will install water heaters at home, counting the money and cramping their hands.
Now it is normal for every household to have a water heater to take a bath at home, but such convenient and fast things have caused frequent news events to occur. The last second was still humming a song and taking a shower, but the next second, he died in a bathroom of several square meters because the water heater leaked. He didn't have time to call for help, and he would not be easily noticed.
A couple in a rental house in Longgang, Shenzhen were unfortunately electrocuted and died of a water heater leakage. The pregnant wife was electrocuted and unconscious in the shower. Her husband went to rescue barefoot, but unfortunately she was electrocuted. If it weren't for the worker's call, no one would have answered the house, and no one would have known that the couple was gone. If the water heater is compared to a killer, it can be regarded as a "silent killer".
Why does the water heater suddenly leak when taking a bath?
There are mainly divided into two types of water heaters on the market. One is water storage type, and the other is instant heat type.
Water storage type means that the water is heated by electricity in the water tank. The hot water that comes out when taking a bath is hot. If the hot water is used up, it must be heated again. Therefore, some people will keep on the bath and keep the water temperature as cool as possible. You can turn it off when you don’t need it. If you want to take a shower, you have to wait for the water to heat it up again, which is a bit time-consuming.
and instant hot type will quickly have hot water just like the name. Although it does not take a long time like the water storage type, it will have hot water when taking a bath. The water heater will be turned on as long as the bath is used. Therefore, if you use this water heater to bathe, there will be a risk of leakage.
However, the water heaters sold in are all with national production license, and the wires used in them are also very safe and of quality and there is no need to worry about. It is not that regular and guaranteed quality water heaters will not have the risk of leakage. The parts and wires inside an water heater will naturally age after being used for a long time, affecting the work of the water heater. In addition, the long bathing time in autumn and winter, the risk of electric shock when everyone is taking a bath will also increase.
Why should I turn off the power when taking a bath?
Experts said that if you use a water heater under normal circumstances, it is possible that unqualified, irregular products and parts are aging. Generally, water heaters will not leak easily, and the risk is not high. It is not that there is no risk at all. In order to avoid risks, it is recommended to use water storage . when taking a bath. Turn off the water heater . Compared to life, waiting longer is nothing.
Regular water heater generally has 8 years of service life. It is best to do regular maintenance in the middle. It is recommended to change to a new after 8 years. After all, it is highly efficient on the market and the updated version is also comfortable to use.
You can install an "Anti-electric wall" on the water heater, which is to increase the line resistance and reduce the current to prevent excessive current from hurting people. To avoid circuit failures, the leakage protector must be installed. Don’t save money, lose big because of small things.
Then if someone is unfortunately electrocuted, how should he rescue it correctly?
The first time is to turn off the main power supply, pull the switch, unplug the water heater socket, and then use dry wooden, bamboo and other sticks to lift the wires open to reduce the time when the injured person comes into contact with the power supply. Rescuers should also protect themselves. If is not good, they should immediately hit the injured person to prevent electricity from on their bodies. immediately call 120 emergency number. If the patient is still conscious, just keep him lying flat. If the injured person's heartbeat stops, don't shake the injured person at will. Wait for rescue. It is best to do CPR.
It is cold in autumn and winter, so taking a bath has become a beauty. Many people not only clean their bodies by rubbing ashes, but some people think that taking a bath in winter requires more to wash away the cold air in the body and make their body warmer.
Can you really wash away the cold air in winter?
does! It can not only drive away the cold air, but also relieve physical fatigue. Although taking a bath has many benefits, don't over-wash.
Because the body's skin not only has a cuticle layer, but also sebum membrane , this membrane must moisturize and moisturize the skin. If it is often small, it will cause excessive shedding of the stratum corneum in the body and the sebum membrane will become thinner, so that the skin will become fragile and sensitive if it loses the protective barrier, and it will easily become dry, peeling, and itchy.
In summer, there is sweat easily and odor. The bathing weather is not cold, and it is hot and hot. The bathing time will not be too long. There is no problem washing every day. However, in winter, people will rely on bathhouses and stay for several hours, so they don’t need to wash every day. They are usually washed once every 2-3 days. The elderly and children have poor physical fitness. The time interval is longer. If the skin is dry, apply some body lotion .
In short, people who often take a bath at home in winter must pay attention to the use of the water heater. It is best to turn off the water heater and add anti- leakage equipment to reduce the risk of electric shock when taking a bath. Don’t take a bath too frequently, and your skin can’t stand it. If you want smooth skin, apply more body lotion.
