When chatting with a friend today, I heard her complain: Every time I take a shower, I feel like suffering. But why do I feel that bathing in winter is a kind of enjoyment? It turned out that the bathroom at my friend's house was too cold. Even if hot water poured on my body, I still didn't feel warm enough.
Whether the bath is cold or not is mainly determined by two household appliances: water heater and bathroom heater . Today we will talk about how to choose to make bathing a pleasure.
Selection of water heaters
Common water heaters in households are electric water heaters and gas water heaters . It is recommended to choose a gas water heater in the south, with unlimited hot water. Northern recommends choosing an electric water heater. The reasons will be discussed later.
When purchasing an electric water heater, the main concern is its power - the greater the power, the faster it will boil water. In addition to reducing waiting time, you can also increase the amount of hot water by boiling water while taking a bath.
Some people worry that high-power electric water heaters will consume more electricity, but they are actually overly worried. The capacity of the water heater is certain. The heating time of a high-power electric water heater will be shorter, and the total power consumption will not increase: only a large-capacity electric water heater will increase the power consumption.
[Electric water heaters can be plugged in for bathing, but the prerequisite is that the circuit safety must be ensured. ground wire , leakage switch (note that it is a leakage switch, not a leakage socket or leakage plug), both are indispensable. 】
When purchasing a gas water heater, pay attention to the capacity. The capacity of a gas water heater refers to how many liters of water it can raise the water temperature by 25°C per minute. Therefore, it is not recommended to choose it in the north. The initial water temperature is too low. I am afraid that no matter how large the capacity is, it will not be able to meet the demand.
Regarding the capacity of the gas water heater, it is recommended to choose a larger one, preferably not less than 16L. After all, the water output of shower heads is getting larger and larger now. If you don't choose a large capacity, you won't be able to enjoy the smooth spray of a large top with a water output of 15L per minute.
[The hot water of gas water heaters is unlimited, but the flow rate of hot water is limited. The "capacity" parameter of a gas water heater actually refers to the flow rate of hot water. The greater the capacity, the greater the flow. 】
Bath heater selection
Bath heaters are divided into lamp warm bath heaters and wind warm bath heaters. It is recommended to consider the budget when choosing. If the budget is more than 300 yuan, I recommend the air-heated bathroom heater, which is more comfortable (the temperature is balanced and not dazzling); if the budget is less than 300 yuan, I recommend the light-heated bathroom heater, which is more economical (cheaper and saves electricity).
Don’t buy air-heated bathroom heaters that cost less than 300 yuan. The power is too small and you won’t feel the warmth even if you turn it on.
When choosing a light heater, pay attention to the number of bulbs. Each light bulb has a power of 275W. The more light bulbs, the more power it consumes and the warmer it becomes. But more light bulbs are not always better, because the temperature of the lamp heater is uneven. If you have a small bathroom with a large bathroom heater, your hair will be burned and your feet will be cold.
It is recommended that for bathrooms below 3 square meters, choose a 2-bulb bathroom heater. For bathrooms below 5 square meters, you can choose 3 light bulbs. For bathrooms below 7㎡, 4-bulb products are more recommended. For rooms above 7㎡, it is recommended to choose air-heated bathroom heaters.
Since the heating range of the light-warming bathroom heater is relatively small, when installing the light-warming bathroom heater, it is best to install the bathroom heater in the wet area of the bathroom, closer to people. Remember: where there is no light, you cannot feel the temperature.
When choosing a fan heater, you should pay attention to the power and choose a product with a power of 2500W or more. Have you ever used a 1000W air heating bathroom heater? I have used it - the air blown out is not hot at all. Not only does it not make people feel warm, but it blows colder and colder, just like an electric fan.
Some people mistakenly believe that the greater the power of the air heating heater, the greater the air volume it blows out. This is actually wrong. The power of the bathroom heater is related to the amount of heat and heating speed, and has nothing to do with the wind. A 1000W bathroom heater and a 3000W bathroom heater provide the same air volume.
When installing the air heating bathroom heater, try to stay away from people. If dry and wet separation is done in the bathroom, the bathroom heater should be installed in the dry area of the bathroom.
This is because the air-heated bathroom heater will blow air outward when it is working. Even if the hot air blows out, it will take away the moisture on the surface of the human body.When you take a shower, there is a lot of water on your body. When this water evaporates, it takes away heat and makes you feel cold.
