In the past, people only knew to use fire to boil water, but now people pay more attention to the quality and efficiency of water heaters. A simple, useful and harmless household product, but everything wears out after a period of use, and if you don’t know how to repair and maintain it, then it can no longer continue to work for you up. Take the electric water heater as an example. Anyone with a little experience knows that there will be scale after using it for a long time, which will affect the later use. So what can we do to solve this problem?
After the electric water heater has been used for a long time, a lot of scale will gradually accumulate in the water tank, especially if the water quality in your place is not very good, the speed of scale accumulation will be faster. Generally, when the water heater has been used for two to three years, it must be cleaned in time and thoroughly. Now I will introduce the method of descaling the electric water heater to everyone.
Some water heaters have a special drain nut under the water tank. For this kind of water heater, just unscrew the drain nut to release water and sewage. When the water in the water tank is about to run out, the scale in the water tank will be brought out. After draining the water, screw on the nut, add some tap water to the water tank, and then unscrew the drain screw cap to drain the water, so that the scale in the water tank can be cleaned up several times.
Some water heaters can discharge water and sewage by adjusting the angle of the safety valve, but the water discharge is too slow and the effect is not good; for water heaters without special sewage discharge nuts, it is best to remove the water pipe with the safety valve on the right side and the safety valve to discharge water Sewage. Before cleaning the scale, the user had better read the manual of the water heater in detail, and it is advisable to clean the scale according to the operation requirements of the manual. The cleaning time of the water heater is generally 2 to 3 years. If it is not cleaned frequently, it will easily lead to scale leakage on the heating pipe, or even an explosion. Cleaning the water heater is something we cannot ignore when we use it.
In fact, it is a very simple thing to clean up the scale in the electric water heater, but the irresistible truth is that if you do not deal with it in time, it will still be threatening. In order to have a safer living environment, these methods must still be firmly grasped, and do not let yourself and your family members be threatened by these hidden dangers.
