First of all, the surface of the water supply pipe needs to be protected, especially the surface of the outdoor water supply pipe is made of warm pipe, cotton, hemp and other thermal insulation materials.
Generally speaking, thawing can be carried out by the following three methods.
First, drip into a thread. As the name implies, the faucet for domestic water is opened slightly to keep the water flowing on the drip line.
In cold weather, when the dripping water is flowing, no matter how low the temperature is, it will not freeze. Therefore, for areas where the temperature is lower than 5 degrees Celsius in winter, you can turn on the faucet a little later to let the water flow normally, so that it will not freeze. .
Second, the method of thawing in an emergency. When the water pipe freezes, cover the faucet and water pipe with a hot towel or damp cloth, and then turn on the switch. Then, from the faucet, slowly and gradually pour hot water into the water pipe, let the ice in the water pipe slowly dissolve, and the water will recover quickly.
For many people, it is a mistake to pour hot water directly into the pipes after they find out they are frozen. When the water pipe is frozen, it is easy to break the pipe if it is hot. A hot towel should be placed over the frozen part of the pipe, or a warm water shower should be used to melt the place where the pipe is frozen.
Three, blowing fusion method. If the water pipes in your home are made of PPR material and there is freezing, you can use a hair dryer. When blowing, be careful not to blow in one place, but blow up and down, so that the water pipe can be thawed.
