What is the reason for the water heater leaking? How to solve the water leakage?

Now most people have to install water heaters at home! It is very convenient and safe to take a bath at ordinary times. But sometimes the water heater suddenly leaks electricity. What's going on here?

1, one reason may be that there is no grounding wire at home, which leads to leakage.

2. Due to the gradual corrosion of the heating pipe, leakage occurred at the perforation.

3. The shell is corroded. If the heating tube is damaged, the shell will break, causing electricity to energize the shell.

4. It is also possible that the magnesium rod has been used for a long time and has not been replaced in time. Therefore, magnesium rods need to be replaced after a period of use.

5, improper use leads to leakage. In the process of use, the water mist spilled from the circuit, socket, switch, metal trough and connecting device corrodes and gets wet, resulting in short circuit or open circuit.

So if the water heater at home leaks electricity, what should be done?

1, the electric water heater power supply must have a reliable grounding wire, and the household power supply system must have a leakage protection device.

2. The power socket should be located where water can't splash, and it is best to install a splash-proof socket.

3. Replace the water heater in time. Old water heaters are prone to water leakage due to long-term use, so water heaters that have been used for a long time should be replaced in time to ensure safety.

4. Replace the heating pipe. If the water heater does not leak electricity when it is not heated, it may leak electricity after it is filled with water. It may be that the shell of the heating pipe is burnt out, and it leaks after being filled with water. Therefore, the heating pipe should be replaced in time.

Although the water heater leaks rarely, we still can't ignore it. Usually, it should be found in time, and any abnormality should be solved in time.
