Suddenly the electricity bill at home soared? Look out! Netizens posted a description of the close escape experience.

  I am sticky in summer.

  Many friends

  The first thing to do when you go home is to take a bath.

  But taking a bath is such a daily thing

  A careless person

  Unexpectedly, accidents may also occur.

  Recently, a netizen posted that:

  "pass by death again."

  According to the description of the post, the netizen found that the electricity used at home was fast. After checking, the electrician told her that it was because the water heater consumed electricity, so it would be good to take a shower and unplug it.

  After she heated the water heater, she tried to unplug it, only to find that it was very hot! I couldn't pull it off with special gloves, so I turned to the property and found that the plug turned black after the door-to-door inspection.

  The electrician said that her water heater is very powerful and there is no leakage switch, which is very dangerous. The plug can no longer withstand the operation of the water heater, so it consumes electricity.

  Fortunately, netizens found the water heater hot.

  If the leakage causes a fire

  Or get an electric shock in the shower.

  The consequences are unimaginable!

  Many netizens have had it.

  Such a "close call" experience

  This incident triggered a heated discussion among netizens.

  Many netizens shared it.

  A similar experience

  When I washed my hands in the pool, I found that it was charged. I didn't know it was really leaking until I measured it with an electric pen. Fortunately, I didn't take a shower.

  Turn on the tap and find that hot water can burn a pig to death. At night, I find that the side of the water heater has been blasted by heat ...

  Endless end smelled the smell of burning plastic, and the line of the toilet receiver plug burned up in a few days.

  Some netizens also shared it.

  A picture of the plug blackening.

  Seeing these terrible experiences

  Some netizens quickly checked up.

  I found that the danger was by my side.

  There are still many netizens.

  Enthusiastic suggestions

  Air conditioners and water heaters should use high-power sockets!

  It is not recommended to plug and unplug the water heater frequently. You can buy a reliable socket with a sub-control switch.

  Over-age "service"

  Unscheduled maintenance

  Leakage protection switch does not meet the requirements.

  These electric water heaters mentioned above

  If you are not careful, you will endanger your life.

  Always remember when using it.

  Don't buy inferior products

  Never buy ultra-low-priced or second-hand electric water heaters on the market. This inferior product generally has no leakage safety protection device or the device has failed. Never be greedy for cheap.

  Self-check leakage protection switch every month.

  The leakage protection switch has a "T" button (orange, yellow or blue in most cases), and the words "press once a month" or "test once a month" will be written next to the button. This button is the legendary "life-saving button"-the simulated leakage button.

  This button should be pressed once a month to simulate the leakage problem in the home circuit, so as to observe whether the leakage protection function is normal.

  When the "life-saving key" is pressed, if the power switch trips, it means that the leakage protection function of the open circuit is normal, and at this time, it is only necessary to close the brake.

  If the power switch does not trip after pressing the "life-saving key", it means that the leakage protection function of the idle switch has failed and cannot play the role of automatic power-off protection. At this time, it is necessary to replace the idle switch immediately.

  Turn off the electricity before taking a shower.

  After storing water, first heat the hot water to the specified temperature, then turn off the power and take a bath. Heating while washing will increase the risk of electric shock.

  Replace the electric water heater regularly.

  Tap water contains a lot of calcium and magnesium ions, which will adhere to and corrode its inner container and heated magnesium rod during the continuous use of electric water heaters. There is a risk of electric leakage, so the magnesium rod of the electric water heater must be replaced regularly.

  Service life of electric water heater

  Usually 6-8 years, it needs to be replaced in time.

  If it exceeds the service life, it will continue to be used.

  There will be security risks!
