Mainly in these brands, it is most important to choose a shower that suits your habits and is used by your family. Because there is no difficult technical content in the shower at present, the technology is very mature. There are many kinds of water heaters in the market, including electric water heaters, gas water heaters, air energy water heaters and solar water heaters. Recently, a new magnetic energy water heater has been developed. Electric water heaters and gas water heaters are widely used by ordinary people. When the water heater is used for a long time, it will produce some phenomena of slow temperature rise or poor heat preservation effect. Once this happens, you should clean the water heater.
Under normal circumstances, our electric water heater is used for about two years, and it is used continuously for two years. Then the electric water heater should clean the scale. In addition, magnesium rods will almost be replaced. Cleaning methods of electric water heaters include simple cleaning and professional cleaning.
Simple cleaning.
Simply clean yourself, you can operate it at home. However, it should be equipped with corresponding tool socket wrench. The size of the socket wrench should be determined according to the screw size of the drain valve of your own water heater. Usually between specifications 28 and 32.
After the tools are ready, we can close the water supply valve directly. The water heater was cut off. These two steps are very important and must be done in advance. At this time, you can directly unscrew the drain valve of the electric water heater with a socket wrench.
After unscrewing the screw of the drain valve, the water inside will not flow out. We need to remove the pipe connecting the water mixer and unscrew it so that the water in the drain valve will flow out. We can just step aside and let the sewage from the water heater flow out directly. When the water in the water heater is clean, we can open the water valve to wash the scale in the water heater. Then we can screw back the drain valve.
There should be a rubber pad on the screw before screwing it back. This rubber pad must be intact, otherwise the water heater will leak when it is screwed back. If the rubber pad is damaged, you can directly buy a new rubber pad and replace it.
Professional cleaning.
The whole water heater needs to be removed during professional cleaning. That is, after cleaning the water in the water heater, take the water heater out and turn it on so that it faces the right side of the water heater. There is a plastic cover on the right. This plastic cover plate is fixed with screws, and the cover plate can be removed by unscrewing the screws.
After removing the cover, you can see the motherboard and heating rod inside. The motherboard flashed aside. The heating rod is fixed by four screws. After removing the fixing screw of the heating rod, the heating rod can be taken out. Then clean the scale on the heating rod, and don't remove it directly with sharp tools. White vinegar should be used to soak the scale of the heating rod directly. After the scale falls off directly, you can clean the heating rod with clean water.
After the heating rod is taken out, we can see the inside of the water heater liner more intuitively. Connect the water pipe with tap water, and directly flush the inside of the water heater from the inlet of the heating rod. Rinse it clean.
Then we will open the cover facing the left side of the water heater. There are also four fixing screws in the same position of the heating rod. These four fixing screws fix the installation position of the magnesium rod. Remove the screw so that the magnesium rod can be pulled out later. Replace it with a new magnesium rod. Then screw it back.
Then we can just screw the heating rod back. Put the lid on and reinstall the water heater. Be careful not to turn on electricity. Open the water valve first, and then turn the shower head of the water heater to the boiling water end to be in the open state. Fill the water heater with water before electrifying.
These are the simple cleaning methods and professional cleaning methods and steps of electric water heaters. Simple cleaning can be done at home, but professional cleaning is not recommended if you have no maintenance experience or poor hands-on ability.
All the above cleaning methods are traditional manual cleaning, but a special cleaning machine has appeared on the market at present. Use a high-pressure gun to clean household appliances. This set of equipment has really improved work efficiency.
