How to take anti-freezing measures for water supply equipment

Ms. Zhou, a citizen, calls: In winter, she often encounters low temperature, rain and snow. In order to ensure normal water use, how to do a good job of antifreeze for water supply pipes and outdoor water meters? Luo Ji introduces several methods of preventing cold and keeping warm for water meters and water pipes for reference: 1. Make a cold pad the same size as the water meter, which can be covered with plastic snakeskin bags, straw bags, dried straw or homemade cotton pads, or you can buy asphalt glass wool felt and put it in the table, which is both cold-proof and moisture-proof. 2. Make a box with a thin board and put it on the water meter. There is a certain gap between the water meter and the wooden box, and it is filled with insulation materials such as sawdust, rice husk and asphalt glass fiber. The pipes at both ends of the water meter can be wrapped with asphalt glass wool felt and linen. 3. The outside of the water meter cover and the periphery of the water meter are covered with dry slag or grass shirts. 4. When the weather is particularly cold, users can turn on the faucet at home and let the faucet flow in a straight line, so that the water in the water pipe can flow and prevent the water pipe from freezing. For frozen faucets, water meters and water pipes, you can first wrap the faucets with hot towels, then pour warm water to thaw them, and then unscrew them. If the water pipe is frozen, slowly pour warm water along the faucet to thaw the water pipe. If there is no water flowing out after pouring the water meter, it means that the water meter is frozen. At this time, wrap the water meter with a hot towel and pour warm water (not higher than 30 degrees Celsius) to thaw the water meter. Never bake it with fire or water it with boiling water. (Luo Fei
