If you don’t need a water heater for a year, you must do this! Don't be careless!
What we use at home are basically storage-type electric water heaters. If you plan not to use the electric water heater at home for a year or for a long time, you must drain all the water in the water heater in advance.
If you don’t use the water heater for a year, you must remember to do this well and don’t be careless!
If the electric water heater is not used for a long time, but there is still water in the electric water heater, possible problems may occur:
① Impurity precipitation blocks the water outlet
The electric water heaters in our homes use tap water, and the tap water also contains some impurities. Under normal use of the electric water heater, some scale will also be generated inside the water heater.
When we do not use the electric water heater for a long time, the scale and impurities inside will slowly settle to the bottom of the electric water heater.
If we do not use the water heater for a long time, but there is still water in the water heater, the scale and other impurities in the water will settle to the bottom, causing the water outlet of the electric water heater to be blocked.
In this case, when we use the electric water heater again, we will find that the water outlet of the water heater will become very small. This is because the water outlet is blocked by scale and other impurities, so the water outlet will become very unsmooth, and we will also be affected when using it.
In this case, if we continue to use the electric water heater, not only the water outlet will become very small, but it may also cause damage to the electric water heater, and its inner tank will also be seriously damaged, which can easily shorten the service life of the electric water heater.
② Breeding bacteria
When we do not use the electric water heater for a long time, and there is still water in the electric water heater, then the water in the electric water heater is in a state where it cannot flow and circulate, which is equivalent to stagnant water, which is easy to breed bacteria.
If we do not use the water heater for a long time, the water in the water heater will be in a fixed state. In this state, it is easy to produce various bacteria and algae and other floating objects in the water. These bacteria and microorganisms will always exist in the electric water heater.
When we use the electric water heater again, if the water stored in it is not released, the bacteria and microorganisms in the water will easily affect us during heating.
When using this kind of water to take a bath, it is easy to cause skin allergies or itching. This is because the bacteria contained in the water cause skin infections.
And if you want to clean all the bacteria and microorganisms in the electric water heater, it is also very troublesome. You may not be able to clean it yourself, and some bacteria will still remain. Therefore, if you want to clean it, you must pay for someone to come and clean it.
Instead of letting the water stored in the electric water heater bring us these unnecessary troubles, it is better to drain all the water in the electric water heater before using it to avoid these problems.
③ Rust inside the electric water heater
If we do not use the electric water heater for a long time and there is still water in it, it is very likely to cause some parts inside the electric water heater to rust.
There are some iron components in the storage-type electric water heater. During the normal operation of the electric water heater, these original parts will also be in normal contact with water. It is just that when the electric water heater is working normally, it is in a state of circulating running water, so there is basically no rust problem.
But if we do not use the electric water heater for a long time, the water inside will be in a state of stagnant water, so the original parts will easily rust when they are in contact with stagnant water for a long time.
Especially when there is water in the electric water heater but the water is not full, there will be both water and air in the water heater, which makes rust problems more likely to occur.
If some parts of the electric water heater are rusted,it will affect the normal operation of the entire electric water heater and shorten the normal service life of the electric water heater. Moreover, when we use the electric water heater, there may be safety hazards such as leakage and short circuit.
is written at the end:
If we do not use the electric water heater for a long time and there is water in the electric water heater, it will bring us a lot of unnecessary trouble.
Therefore, we remind everyone that before using the water heater, you must drain all the water inside;
In addition, before using the electric water heater again, it is best to clean the electric water heater, so that you can feel more at ease when using it.
