Professionals from the Municipal Water Supply Co., Ltd. introduced that several measures can be taken to prevent freezing and heat preservation of water supply facilities. The first is to “wear clothes to protect against the cold”. For water facilities such as water pipes, water meters, and faucets that are exposed to the outside, it is recommended to wrap them with waste clothes, plastic foam, sponges or professional thermal insulation materials.
Furthermore, pay attention to “close the windows to keep warm”. When the temperature drops at night, keep the doors and windows in the corridor closed, and close the windows of balconies, kitchens, bathrooms and other dark rooms in time. Ensure that the indoor temperature is above 0°C.

Another method is to keep the water flowing. Pay attention to the weather forecast in time. In severe cold weather, you can slightly turn on the faucet at night to form a dripping line to ensure the flow of tap water in the water pipe to prevent freezing at night . Conserve water by using a suitable container to catch dripping water.
In addition, you need to pay attention to “preparation”, and prepare for water storage at any time. It is best to store some hot water at night to avoid inconvenience to the next day’s life; Empty the water in the water tank of the solar water heater; if you go out for a long time, it is best to close the tap water valve and empty the tap water in the indoor pipeline to prevent freezing cracks and water leakage.
Professionals remind citizens to “learn to respond to emergencies”. Once water facilities are frozen, do not hit them with sharp objects, barbecue with open flames or pour boiling water directly, so as not to cause the facilities to rupture or cause a fire , You can use a strong hair dryer to bake or wrap the frozen parts with fabric, and pour warm water repeatedly.
