How to use the electric storage water heater, has been running electricity consumption

1. For households that do not use hot water frequently, this means that at least two days before the use of hot water bath, the frequency of use is not high, such a family we recommend that an hour before the bath to start electric heating, turn off the water heater after the bath and keep it off during normal time. This will minimize electricity consumption, thus maximizing the savings in electricity bills.

2. For households that use a water heater every day, just for bathing, and don't use a lot of hot water, we recommend that you turn on the water heater about an hour before your bath. If you shower at a relatively fixed time each day, you can buy computer-controlled water heater products, using its timing heating function to complete. Turn off the water heater after taking a bath.

3. For frequent use cases (where the kitchen and bathroom use one water heater, and the water is hot for cooking, washing dishes, and bathing) , we recommend keeping the water heater on at all times, according to the frequency of use and use of hot water to adjust the temperature of hot water, the use of small cases, you can lower the temperature, use of large cases can be raised a little.

4. For the use of the situation (generally refers to the hair salon and other commercial users use) that can only keep the water heater on, but also according to the number of guests to adjust the temperature of hot water. To maximize the savings in electricity bills. When heating, the safety valve drips water, is a normal phenomenon when the electric water heater heats, the safety valve sometimes has a small amount of water drips out, this is a normal phenomenon, because when the machine heats, the water is heated and expands, the volume becomes larger, and the tank capacity did not change, so the pressure on the increase, when the safety valve detected the pressure on the automatic release of water pressure, so we have seen the phenomenon of dripping. The user can not adjust or plug the relief valve pressure relief hole at will, can connect a plastic pipe will drip water to the floor drain.

The use of water heaters misunderstanding

1. Mistake 1: Qualified Water Heater = Safe Bath

With the growing maturity of electric water heater technology, the vast majority of electric water heater manufacturers on the safety of electric water heater has been fully resolved. But the user also more approbates this kind of statement, thought the product of electric water heater qualified, washed bath also did not have the worry in the future. But there are still frequent electric shock accidents, users can not help but ask: qualified water heater is really safe? What causes these accidents?

According to experts, the standard for electric water heaters in our country is equivalent to the European IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) standard, which requires users to have good grounding wires in their homes. In our country, due to historical reasons, the grounding system of many buildings is not good or even lacking, such as wrong connection decoration, aging lines, private pull wires, the use of poor-quality switch sockets, water pipes when grounding, etc. , these may lead to ground wire electrification, resulting in electric shock accidents. Users are not aware of this. In this environment, even through IEC testing of qualified water heaters, can not guarantee the safety of bathing.

2, Mistake 2: the use of leakage protector can thoroughly protect bath safety

To explain this error must first understand the principle of leakage protection: the power line in the fire and zero line through leakage protection into the water heater, water heater in working state, once the internal leakage of an electrical device, resulting in residual action current, leakage protector can be in 0.1 seconds to cut off the power, to prevent the current from entering the water heater.

However, the power cord of the water heater also contains a ground wire. In theory, the ground wire is also set to ensure the safety of electricity consumption, but in case the ground wire is not reliable, the fire ground wire is connected back during decoration, and the line is old, etc. , because the leakage protector can not cut off the ground wire, then the current may drive through the ground wire straight into the water heater, electric shock accident is still inevitable.
