What You Need to Know about Electric Hot Water Heater

There are many types of water heaters that every household must have, and electric water heaters are one of them. Many people choose to use electric water heaters, so do you know how electric water heaters work? How should we use the electric water heater correctly? Let me answer it for you today.

How electric water heaters work?

After the thermostat is turned on and off to complete heating and non-heating, the rated power of the water heater is still used when heating. After the circuit is turned on, if the water temperature is lower than 50°C, the thermostat will be turned on automatically, the water heater will start heating, and when the water temperature reaches the preset temperature of the water heater (75°C to 85°C for most brands), the thermostat will be disconnected and the water heater will be turned off. Stop heating.

As the water temperature drops from time to time, until it is lower than 50 ℃, the water heater starts to heat again. This cycle is repeated to complete the so-called heat preservation. When the heat preservation lamp is used, the water heater does not consume electricity, which is close to the theoretical zero power and zero power consumption. When heating, the water heater uses rated power.

How to use the electric water heater correctly？

✔️Set the temperature

Plug in the power, press the switch button of the electric water heater, and set the water temperature at the same time. Under normal circumstances, it can be set at 45 degrees. In winter, the temperature can be relatively raised.

✔️Debug the water temperature

After the water is boiled, first adjust the valve to the middle position, the water will meet, and then start to use it after the water temperature is not cold. Generally, the left side of the valve marked with red H is hot water, and the right side marked with blue C is cold water.

✔️Avoid touching the power supply with wet hands

It can be used after the water temperature is constant. Because the electric water heater is surrounded by water, it is easy to get an electric shock. Therefore, try not to touch other places with your hands or other parts during use, especially around the power supply.

✔️Timely power off

When using an electric water heater, when the water valve is turned on and there is no water, the power supply should be disconnected immediately to prevent the electric water heater from being damaged due to faults when it works without flowing water.

✔️Stop using if the pressure is insufficient

If the water pressure or voltage is too low, stop using it and wait for the water pressure or voltage to return to normal before using it.

How to maintain the electric water heater?

1. Do a good job of cleaning: You can formulate a cleaning schedule, and make a record of each cleaning to ensure that no scale is generated. If you find it troublesome, you can also clean the inner tank when cleaning the outer shell.

1. Regular inspection: The internal parts have been used for a long time and are easily damaged by aging. Inspection can find problems. Therefore, regular inspection is necessary. Do maintenance work during inspection and replace severely worn parts.

1. Safe use: electric water heaters work for a long time in a heated and damp environment, and are prone to insulation aging and mechanical damage, so more attention should be paid. It should be used in a safe environment and avoid prolonged power-on.

1. Prevention of leakage: The state stipulates that the power supply voltage of electric water heaters is 220 volts of alternating current. Such a voltage is also dangerous after electric shock. To avoid leakage of electricity, check whether the power cord is damaged and whether the insulators of parts are in good condition before each use.
