What are the dangers of traditional water dispensers?

Water dispensers are commonly used in office buildings and homes. So is it safe to drink water from the dispenser for a long time? What are its dangers?

1. From the structure of the water dispenser, there are two water bladders inside, one hot water bladder and one cold water bladder. These two water bladders play a role in precipitating impurities in the water. The hot tank of traditional water dispensers generally adopts a side water inlet structure. This structure results in about 30% stagnant water at the bottom of the hot tank every time water is heated. This stagnant water flows back and forth, causing serious secondary pollution. Secondary pollution It is easy for traditional water dispensers to breed bacteria;

2. The inner tank is more likely to form scale, produce yin and yang water, and aged water, which is more harmful to human health and can easily cause various diseases;

< p> 3. Thousand-boiling water will be formed after drinking water is repeatedly heated in the hot pot. Thousand-boiling water may seem clean, but due to being boiled for too long, the water contains high levels of non-volatile substances such as calcium, magnesium and other heavy metals and nitrites. Drinking this kind of water for a long time will interfere with people's gastrointestinal function. Therefore, long-term drinking is likely to cause cancer;

4. The power consumption is far more than that of air conditioners. Taking the most common 0.5KW power product as an example, Without shutting down, the average daily production of 1L of water consumption is 1.8 kilowatt hours, which is almost 4 times that of a refrigerator. It is a more powerful "power killer" than large appliances such as air conditioners and refrigerators

5. The noise is constantly annoying. According to the design principle of traditional water dispensers, when the water dispenser is powered on, it will cause noise pollution when it stops heating, which is worrying at night;

6. Water is easy to dry out. A fire breaks out. Because they find it troublesome to turn on the water frequently and worry about insufficient water temperature, some users usually leave the water dispenser powered on all the time, which poses a huge safety hazard. Once there is a lack of water, it is easy to cause a fire due to high temperature and dry burning.

Water dispensers have serious problems, including heavy metal pollution. Heavy metals enter the human body through drinking water, and long-term accumulation will produce toxic effects, which are particularly harmful to the internal organs and nervous system, and are difficult to degrade. Water dispensers not only have many hazards but are also troublesome, and the consumption is also high. With the development of technology, if we want to drink healthy water, we also have better choices. Water purifiers are often safer and healthier than water dispensers.
