Hey, folks, let's talk real today. Isn't the first thing we do when we get home? But do you dare to think that the water heater you use every day in your house might be a time bomb buried in the bathroom
There's been a recent incident in xi'an that really scares people into sweat: the old gas heater in a family almost died of a carbon monoxide leak due to its age! This is not alarmist, and data show that every spring safety accidents due to the ageing of household electricity account for more than 30 per cent of home accidents. Today i'll give you the secret of life that 99% of the people don't know
(part i: why say eight years is the limit of life
First, we need to figure out how long the water heater will last
A lot of friends think it works without any damage, right? It's a big mistake! National standards have long established that electric water heaters and gas heaters have been designed for eight years
These eight years are not random. And think about it, the water heater is full of water, with high pressure, heating pipes, inner guts, seals, it's getting hot and cold. In more than eight years, it has an aging line and internal corrosion is an approximate event。
In the case of electric water heaters, the greatest risk of overage is the leak of electricity; in the case of gas heaters, the greatest risk of overage is the lack of exhaust and carbon monoxide poisoning. Our spring bath likes to close windows, it's closed, the gas can't get out, people may not sleep。
(part ii: 3 dangerous signals, immediately deactivated)
How do you judge that your water heater should be changed? Don't wait till something happens. These three signals, even if it took three years, have to be replaced or replaced
1. Occasional loss of consciousness in the shower
If you sometimes feel numb in the shower, or your scalp looks like electricity, don't be mean! This is probably a precursor to a leak in the heating tube. Many people think it's water pressure, it's life
The flames are red and smoked
If your home is a gas heater, look at the flame when it opens. Normal blue, if the flames are red and yellow, and smoke vents smell like stingy noses, which means that the burning is inadequate and carbon monoxide is exceeded
3. Smaller water flow, full of water fly
The bath water suddenly got smaller and the water was full of white slags. This means that the inside urchins are corroded and then used to leak short roads and even fires。
Part three: hands teach you to check yourself, three steps to safety
Don't think it's a long way from you. Now pick up the phone and do a 30-second security check
- step one: age
Go to the bottom of the water heater and find the production date. If you're over eight years old, you'll get a new phone call after you read it today
- step two: check the ground
Let's see if the plug is a triangulation, there's no wire. If it's that old two-hole, find an electrician and replace it with a leak! The leaker is the last lifeline, pressing the "test button" every month to jump。
- step three: clear the pipe
The gas heater's pipe must be out of the room. If your house is that old-fashioned, check if the pipes are broken or broken. Don't block the vent for the wind. It's suicide
Guys, cope wasn't bluffing, he was saving his life. The age of "three years old, three years old, three years of repair and repair" is long past
And finally, i'd like to say, how many years have your water heaters been in operation? Are they still alive
The comment section told me, i'll help you. I think this video will be useful
