It's very cold in the ice and snow. How to prevent water pipes and faucets from freezing?

In order to prevent the faucet from freezing, you can wear cotton-padded clothes to keep warm. For water facilities, such as bare water pipes and faucets, cotton and linen fabrics can be used for dressing and insulation.

Close windows to prevent freezing, especially corridor windows, such as all rooms and balconies facing north, kitchens and bathrooms, and ensure that the temperature of rooms and corridors is above zero, especially at night. Turn off all faucets, especially water heaters such as water heaters, solar energy and washing machines, or empty water tanks or water pipes. The pipes in the house, especially those with exposed external walls, can also be evacuated to prevent freezing.

Please close the doors and windows, turn off the water meter valve, turn on the indoor faucet and ventilate the water pipe. When the water freezes, first slowly pour hot water along the faucet to thaw the water pipe. If the water does not flow when poured into the water meter, the water meter will freeze, then wrap the water meter with a hot towel, sprinkle it with warm water, and then unscrew the faucet. Don't knock hard objects, use water or boiled water or use tools such as pliers and wrenches to start faucets and valves. ?

If the water pipe, water meter and faucet freeze, the water supply valve in front of the water meter should be closed immediately to avoid wasting water and causing other losses. In bad weather, apply antifreeze on the outer wall of the pipeline. Can play a protective role. Exposed water pipes and water metering facilities should be wrapped with materials, and the water supply system should be fastened in the shade. If the temperature is below minus 5 degrees Celsius, close the household valve.

If conditions permit, you can unscrew the faucet slightly to ensure the subtle flow of water and prevent freezing. But don't waste water resources.
