With the arrival of summer, more people are turning to electric water heaters for their daily showers. Liu Hongwen, an appliance maintenance expert, advises that regular attention to safety is essential when using these devices. If possible, it's a good idea to give your electric water heater a "check-up" periodically to ensure it's functioning properly and safely.
Experts recommend that if you turn on the hot water tap but no water comes out, you should immediately cut off the power supply. This prevents the heater from operating without water, which can damage the inner tank and increase the risk of electrical leakage. Never plug or unplug the power cord with wet hands, especially during or after a shower. If you won't be using the electric water heater for more than three days, it’s wise to unplug it. This not only saves energy but also enhances safety.
When both the kitchen and bathroom are using the same electric water heater, adjust the temperature accordingly—lower it when cooking or washing dishes, and raise it when bathing. Avoid keeping the heater at maximum power all the time; instead, adjust the temperature as needed. This helps save electricity and extends the life of the appliance.
Another important point is the magnesium rod found in storage-type electric water heaters. It releases magnesium ions to slow down corrosion caused by hard water. If the magnesium rod is worn out and not replaced in time, it can lead to serious issues like tank corrosion or a damaged heating element, which may result in electric shocks. Experts suggest replacing the magnesium rod every two years. Additionally, after three years of use, it’s recommended to have a professional inspect the internal components of the water heater to identify and address any potential problems before they become dangerous.
