Many owners will encounter that the distance between the kitchen and the bathroom is too far to use hot water in time. At this time, water and electricity renovation may be required. Water and electricity renovation has always been the top priority of new house decoration, and it is also an important hidden project, so follow the editor to take a look!
Before the hydropower transformation, the position of the switch socket, the route of the water and the water, etc. must be considered, and then the water and electricity wiring can be determined based on the ceiling or the ground. Whether a decoration team is reliable can be known by looking at the hydropower project. The distribution of hydropower tracks made by a good decoration team is neat and reasonable, generally concentrated on one line, and then diverged at the same position. In this way, if there is any problem in the future, it can be disassembled and replaced at any time. In the use of pipeline materials, PVC pipes are generally used, but copper pipes are also used for relatively high-end decoration.
Whether the water and electricity lines run on the ceiling or on the ground depends on the actual effect and cost, and the country does not have any rigid regulations on it. The length of water and electricity lines directly determines the cost of water and electricity decoration, especially for houses with far away kitchens and bathrooms. This aspect must be carefully measured. Under normal circumstances, water and electricity lines are horizontal and vertical, one line cannot turn twice, and there are at most three lines in one pipe. If it is an ordinary socket and the distance from the ground is short, then use the ground line, but if it is a socket for a Yuba air conditioner, you can lead the wire from the top surface.
Waterways have always been nerve-wracking. If not done well, it will not only affect the surrounding building materials and furniture, but may also cause a short circuit. If the distance between the kitchen and the bathroom is too far, the supply of hot water may be greatly reduced and water resources will be wasted. To this end, I have found the following solutions for you:
1. The most direct solution is to install a thermostatic faucet. The memory metal in the faucet will instantly adjust the ratio of hot and cold water according to the temperature. Unlike a thermostatic water heater that only provides constant temperature of the outlet water, a thermostatic faucet can ensure the constant temperature of the water.
Second, install the water heater. However, the safety of water heaters is always criticized by people. When choosing a water heater, you must not choose three-no products. It is best to buy them in regular shops and shopping malls. And install it in a safer place in your home.
3. Alternatively, the gas stove and electric water heater can be used in combination, and an instant water heater can be installed in the bathroom, but this cannot meet the large amount of hot water supply required for bathing, so the bath water can be drawn from the kitchen. Or use a small kitchen treasure in the kitchen and install a water heater in the bathroom.
4. If you can only consider gas, then install a circulating pump to make hot water flow continuously in the pipeline, maintain the temperature, and avoid cold water in the storage pipeline. It is also a method of using electricity, and its cost is slightly higher.
It should be noted that if you use an instant through-type water heater like Xiaochubao, its power consumption is relatively large, and the switch wire must be replaced during installation, otherwise it may cause a fire due to excessive load.
If you use bathtub + shower + kitchen water, you can consider the central water heater, one machine can supply multiple water outlets at the same time. The price is about the same as buying two ordinary water heaters. The bathtub consumes a lot of water, generally requiring a capacity of more than 80L. In winter, the temperature of the bathtub inlet water is low, and the water supply may be insufficient. You can choose the right water heater according to your own decoration environment.
