Some heaters can't be used in the bathroom

Yesterday evening, the reporter of Modern Express visited the electrical appliance store in nanjing xinjiekou, and found that there are many kinds of heaters on the market, including oil heaters, air heaters and convection heaters, with prices ranging from 100 yuan to thousands of yuan.

"This kind of heater can't be used in the bathroom." The salesperson told the reporter that although some desktop heaters are small in size and don't occupy the bathroom space, they are actually not suitable for use in the bathroom because they are not waterproof. The salesman recommended a convection heater. The label of this convection heater says "Remove the power supply" and "High temperature waterproof film". "This is a dual-purpose bath for home use, and the price is not much more expensive than that which is not waterproof."

The reporter noticed that the heater clearly marked as "Household Yuba" will focus on promoting waterproof function, but there is no warning about the use of electric shock and waterproof in the bathroom on the packaging of other heaters.

Most of the heaters sold online claim that "the bathroom is available"

Yesterday, the reporter of Modern Express searched on Taobao. After entering the "bathroom heater", there are many products. One of the products indicates that it can be used in bedrooms, bathrooms and other environments, and belongs to IPX2 waterproof. From the picture, this product should be fixed on the wall.

It is understood that there are waterproof grades from IPX0 to IPX5 at present, among which grade 0 is not waterproof, 1 grade water drops have no effect when dropping into the shell, grade 2 shell tilts to 15 degree, grade 3 water or raindrops reach the shell at an angle of 60 degrees, grade 4 has no effect at any angle, and grade 5 water washing has no harm.

However, there is also a clear reminder on the product website: although the waterproof level is high, it does not mean that a large amount of water can be splashed on the shell from any angle.

On the home page of another dual-purpose heater product, it shows that its waterproof level is level 4. The reporter found that the product also has a video of cleaning the heater with a shower on the webpage, trying to highlight its waterproof function, but did not find the corresponding safety tips.

It is also dangerous for a fully enclosed heater to fall into the bathtub.

Xu, secretary-general of Jiangsu Household Electrical Appliances Maintenance Association, said that the choice of heaters used in bathrooms is also particular. The heater used in the bathroom must be "fully enclosed", and heaters such as oil heaters belong to this category. "But in an accident like Changzhou, the heater slips into the water, and even if it is completely closed, it will get an electric shock." Xu said that any kind of electrical appliance may get an electric shock if it falls into the water. Therefore, it is also very important to use a heater in the bathroom, preferably at a certain distance from the bathtub and shower head.

"Many people like to use heaters in the bathroom, which is actually not safe." Xu said that if the heater encounters too high humidity, it may short circuit. Other types of non-enclosed heaters may explode when water droplets splash, which is also very unsafe.

Therefore, if you want to buy a heater for the bathroom, you must first ask if it is "dual-purpose". "Bathroom heating, Yuba is relatively safe because of its high installation position and protective device."

This is also because there was an accident in the shower.

A family of four forgot to turn off the valve after taking a shower and got gas poisoning.

On February 17, at around 9: 20 am, four patients with carbon monoxide poisoning were taken to Changzhou Wujin Hospital by ambulance 120. Three of them were slightly poisoned and were hospitalized for observation after treatment. The other was seriously poisoned and still needed to enter the hyperbaric oxygen chamber for further treatment.

It is understood that on the evening of February 16, Ms. Qin, who lives in Luoyang Town, Wujin District, took a shower and went to bed, forgetting to turn off the water heater valve. 17 At about 4 am, Ms. Qin's daughter felt dizzy and nauseous. At that time, she thought she was ill, but by 8 o'clock in the morning, she was groggy and found that her parents who used to get up early had stopped moving. She ran to their room and found that her parents could not wake up. She called grandpa at once. Grandpa and uncle who arrived later found that Ms. Qin's doors and windows were closed and the room was filled with strong gas smell. Three people at home have fainted, and grandpa showed signs of carbon monoxide poisoning when he opened the window for ventilation. Then four people were taken to hospital by 120 ambulance for treatment.

"During the Chinese New Year, relatives also said that our water heater has been used for so many years, which has exceeded the safe service life. Let's change it. I didn't expect something to happen now. " Ms. Qin regretted it and said that the first thing after discharge was to replace the old water heater.

Take a bath in winter

How to be warm and safe?

How can I take a bath at home in winter to be warm and safe? The reporter also consulted several senior family members. They say there are many ways to warm the bathroom in winter. The traditional Yuba is heated by light, but the light will hurt children's eyesight. There have been cases of children lying on their backs for a month or two, which led to blindness. So if you are renovating now, if you are a family with children, you must be careful when using Yuba. Air conditioning cabinets or hanging machines are generally not suitable for installation in bathrooms with high humidity.

At present, there is a product that replaces Yuba, also called heater, which can be installed on the ceiling, but it is not light but air, with 360-degree warm air without dead ends. Because it is high, there is no danger of electric shock. However, this facility also has weaknesses. Sometimes it's wet, and it gets cold when you blow it on your body.

Relatively speaking, it is actually better to use a boiler for heating, such as floor heating, so that the whole room will be warm, the towel rack can also be mildew-proof, or a radiator can be used. If this condition is not available, you can also use Youting. Experts said that in Changzhou's case, the girl may still be using a desk heater, and after being raised, she blew on herself, and the heater fell into the bathtub. Therefore, the floor-standing oil can be close to the bathtub and will not fall into the bathtub.

Besides paying attention to safety when using heaters, some women who love beauty like to use hair dryers in the bathroom, which is also very dangerous. Because once the hair dryer gets wet, the heat preservation device may fail, and even the water vapor in the bathroom will cause leakage.

In this regard, Dr. Sun from the Medical Department of Jintan People's Hospital reminded us to pay attention to personal safety when taking a bath at home, and try not to use electric heating equipment, hair dryers and other appliances in the bathroom, because when the indoor water vapor reaches a certain level, there will be unsafe situations such as conduction. It is recommended to use light heating equipment such as Yuba. In addition, when taking a shower, try to be accompanied by your family. Once an accident happens, it can be found in time and treated in time.

At the same time, Dr. Sun suggested that the use of natural gas water heaters should prevent carbon monoxide poisoning, and try to keep indoor ventilation when bathing, and you can choose to open the window. The safe service life of water heaters is generally 8 years, and water heaters that exceed the safe service life should be eliminated and replaced in time.

Ms. Amy should remember

Don't use a hair dryer in the bathroom.

Someone got electrocuted at home.

Cut off the power in time.

"I also want to remind you that if you find someone getting an electric shock at home, you should cut off the power supply in time. First-aid measures such as artificial respiration and cardiac compression can be taken at the scene to win time for rescue; If carbon monoxide poisoning occurs, you should immediately open the doors and windows for ventilation and call 120 emergency number in time. " Dr. Sun said.
