How is the gas water heater leaking?

The appearance of water heater helped us solve the difficulty of using hot water. Among the types of water heaters, gas water heaters are the most common. Gas water heaters are not only high in thermal efficiency, but also relatively energy-saving to use. In the process of using gas water heater, it will encounter water seepage of gas water heater. Next, the causes of water leakage of gas water heaters are introduced.

1. In winter, when the temperature is too low, the water pipes will freeze and crack. Or the place where the open flame faces is easy to burn through, resulting in water leakage of the water heater. At this point, the damaged water pipe should be replaced.

2. The water-gas linkage valve of the gas water heater leaks, and there is a water diaphragm push valve in the valve, which is easy to age and lead to water leakage after long-term use. At this time, a new water-gas linkage valve needs to be replaced.

3. The water heater mixing valve leaks, so it is because the mixing valve is damaged. In this case, we can only replace the mixing valve of the water heater for maintenance.

Some users will not care too much when they see a small amount of water leakage, and they will not repair the water heater. In fact, it is very dangerous to do so. Because there is water flow in the water heater when there is water leakage, when the water flow reaches about 2 liters/minute, it will trigger the ignition of the water heater. Because the water leakage is just the starting water volume of the water heater, it may actually go out immediately after ignition, so there will be no completely burnt gas in the combustion chamber. There will be a deflagration sound when it is ignited again, and the gas density may explode when it reaches a certain range. It is best to check the gas water heater regularly. If there are any problems that need to be solved in time, it can not only prolong the service life of the water heater, but also avoid some dangers.
