As the weather gets hotter, the frequency with which people use water heaters has also increased. But do you know? In fact, the water heater needs maintenance. If it is not maintained, it will not only affect our health, but also have potential safety hazards. Electric water heaters are used as water-related appliances, and maintenance issues are especially worthy of attention. Normally, when the water temperature rises to 60 degrees, scale formation begins. When the water temperature rises above 85 degrees, scale formation will increase. The scale adheres to the surface of the inner bladder, and breeds microorganisms and harmful substances such as bacteria, which pollutes the bath water and causes the user to suffer from skin diseases. On the other hand, the scale has poor thermal conductivity, and adhesion to the inner surface of the inner liner may result in poor heat dissipation of the inner liner or excessive partial pressure, and the components may be aged. In the long run, there may even be dangers such as bursting of the inner liner and leakage of water. Scale is rich in metal ions and has good electrical conductivity. Once leakage occurs, it is a serious hazard to family safety. It can be seen that the most important thing in the maintenance of water heaters is to maintain the inner tank. The key to maintaining the inner tank is to remove scale. Why are many people not paying attention to this problem? One reason is that the water in the water heater is not used for drinking, and has no direct impact on health. In addition, the water heater liner is wrapped by the outer casing and placed in a high place in the bathroom. As everyone knows, this kind of blind vision is the most dangerous. Many water heaters burst and the leakage of the bathroom is caused by the user's negligence in maintenance. Water heaters generally start to age after about 8 years. Good maintenance not only ensures safety, but even more than doubles their life. Let's take a look at the specific cleaning and maintenance methods. First of all, in daily use, the first time you use electric heat, you must first fill the water and then empty it, and clean the pipe and the liner for the first time. When using, the water temperature should be controlled below 60 degrees. After each use, the hot water should be discharged in time, and the cold water can be passed through the circulating water pipe for about 10 seconds to avoid scale formation. This is also the place most often overlooked by users. In winter, if the water heater is not used for a long time, the water in the inner tank should be drained to prevent the ice from damaging the inner tank. Second, the water heater should be cleaned manually every six months. Cleaning the liner generally requires first turning off the power, draining the water from the water heater, and then putting in the clean water. After cleaning, it should be like “first useâ€. First, fill the water heater with water and then turn on the power to restart the water heater. The heating work. When cleaning the case, remember to wipe it with a mild detergent and keep the case dry after cleaning. Note that while cleaning the scale, the electric water heater with magnesium rod should check the corrosion degree of the magnesium rod so that it can be replaced in time, usually replaced once every 1-2 years. In general, different brands of water heaters have different cleaning methods. When users clean themselves, they should be strictly operated according to the instructions to avoid damage to the electrical appliances. In addition, summer is the best time to clean and maintain the water heater. If you need maintenance, still remind everyone to grasp the best time. In addition, the electric water heater should be thoroughly cleaned every three years, and the internal components should be inspected. At this time, professional maintenance personnel should be requested to disassemble and inspect.
