What should I do if the hot water of the water heater discharges sewage?

Water heater is an indispensable equipment in modern home, but sometimes we find that the hot water of water heater is turbid, which is a very common problem and is called "sewage of water heater". What should I do?

First of all, we need to know the reason of this problem. The turbidity of hot water in the water heater may be due to the poor water quality of the water heater, resulting in impurities such as scale, rust and sediment, which will lead to impure hot water or hot water odor; Or the water quality is polluted because the water heater keeps water for too long.

Next, we need to take measures to solve this problem. First, we should remove impurities and pollutants from the water heater. The specific method is to drain all the water in the water heater, then clean it with warm water and a small amount of alkaline cleaning agent, and wipe it with a soft brush during the cleaning process. Finally, wash the cleaning agent with warm water, and then drain the water in the water heater.

Secondly, keep the water quality of the water heater clean. You can use the method of cleaning the water heater regularly every year, or you can drain water every once in a while to replenish the water heater according to the frequency of use of the water heater. In addition, you can choose to install a special filter for water heaters to filter impurities and pollutants.

It is worth noting that if the above methods cannot solve the problem, you need to ask professional maintenance personnel for help. Because it is possible that the internal pipes of the water heater are aging and the parts of the water heater are faulty, it is necessary for professionals to repair and replace the parts.

In short, when the hot water of the water heater is found to be turbid and smelly, we need to take timely measures to remove impurities and pollutants in the water heater, keep the water clean, and ask professionals for help if necessary. This can avoid the failure of water heater and prolong the service life of water heater.
