Now the water heater is used frequently in our life, it is practical, fast and convenient. For the water heater, many users may not know that the water heater needs to be cleaned regularly. Because with a long time, it is easy to have scale, and it will also affect the life of the water heater, so how long is it better to clean the water heater?
Why should the water heater be cleaned
1. The main function of this kind of products is to provide hot water for our bath, shorten the time of boiling water and bath, so that we can use hot water all the time. To know that scale is a poor thermal conductivity of the material, it will hinder the heat transfer. If we do not clean the water heater for a long time, the scale will make the water heater heated unevenly, resulting in local overheating or excessive pressure, eventually damaging the water heater, or even dangerous.
2. Due to the poor thermal conductivity of scale, its thermal conductivity is lower than that of metal. If the scale is not cleaned for a long time, it will affect the water heating in the water heater, and its hard scale can reduce the electric heat energy conversion rate or even fail. And the scale will occupy a certain amount of water storage space, resulting in the reduction of water storage, resulting in the water temperature and water supply reduction of the water heater.
3. Harm to health
Scale is a kind of pollutants, it contains many chemical components, if we do not clean it for a long time, in the long-term precipitation and accumulation, scale will make the water heater harmful substances continue to increase, such as slime, microorganisms, bacteria will continue to update in a long period of time, alternate reaction, produce a variety of harmful substances, cause a variety of skin diseases, resulting in serious pollution People feel itchy and red spots after taking a bath.
How often does the water heater clean
If you master certain cleaning skills, we can clean it regularly at home, and the cycle is about half a year. If the electric water heater has not been cleaned for several years, it is recommended that you contact the relevant brand after-sales service, and invite professionals to come to the door for deep cleaning. The deep cleaning cycle is about once every three years.
