Investigation on common sense of water supply facilities in cold weather in Zhenjiang: the lowest temperature in winter in Zhenjiang

Water pipes, water meters, faucets, etc. Exposed outdoors should be wrapped with cotton and linen fabric and plastic foam for insulation, and all holes communicating with the outside world must be filled.

The water meter in the water meter well can be covered with waste clothes to keep warm.

2. Close the window in case you catch a cold

In cold weather, all rooms facing north, such as balconies, kitchens, bathrooms and corridors, should be closed tightly to ensure that the temperature of rooms and corridors is above 0℃.

3, dripping into a line

If the temperature drops below 0℃, the tap can be slightly turned on at night to make the water flow into a line, which can ensure the flow of tap water in the pipeline and prevent it from freezing at night. The dripping water can be collected in a suitable container to save water.

4. Emergency measures

For frozen water pipes, water meters and faucets, it is advisable to wrap them on the faucets with hot towels first, then thaw them with warm water at about 30℃, and then unscrew them.

Sprinkle warm water slowly along the pipe to thaw it. Never bake it directly with fire or scald it with boiling water, so as not to crack the pipe or water meter.

5. Close the valve when going out

If you go out for more than one day, it is best to close the tap water inlet valve and then drain the remaining water in the pipeline. If there is a solar water heater at home, please empty the water stored in the solar energy to prevent the pipeline from freezing and cracking or no one at home from causing water leakage and soaking, which will bring unnecessary losses to your life.
