There are bugs on the faucet of Jiuyang water purifier.

This kind of worm is called red nematode, which is very small and usually lives in river water and sewage. Generally speaking, this will not happen to tap water treated by waterworks, because the waterworks add strong oxidant "chlorine" to disinfect and sterilize the raw water. Turn on the tap water and smell a pungent "astringent taste", indicating that the water has been disinfected and there is no need to worry about containing microorganisms.

How did the red nematode appear?

First, the tap water has been left for a long time.

When tap water is not used for a long time, the residual chlorine will glow and will not sterilize. It will also lead to the reproduction and breeding of microorganisms, and it seems that there is something wrong with tap water. Generally, grandparents like to put a bucket under the faucet and turn it up a little bit to drip slowly. It is said that this saves money. But if it is left too long, it will breed bacteria and insects.

Two, high-rise reservoirs, water tanks are not regularly cleaned and disinfected.

The reservoirs and water tanks in residential areas with secondary water supply cannot be effectively cleaned for a long time, which leads to the problem of microbial breeding. Because the pool and water tank can't be completely sealed and airtight, the long-term residual water and residual chlorine evaporate completely, which leads to the breeding of red worms. According to the conventional residential property management regulations, the residential area with secondary water supply should clean and record the residential reservoir twice a year to ensure the cleanliness and hygiene of drinking water.

Three, tap water chlorine content is low or secondary chlorine is not timely:

Chlorine added to tap water has certain volatility. When the tap water is transported by pipeline, due to the closed space, the residual chlorine volatilizes little or no. But once the water pipe breaks and leaks, the residual chlorine will try its best to get outside, and the dirty things outside will also mix into the pipe. Some water supply pipelines are very long, with many leakage points, rapid volatilization of residual chlorine and poor sterilization effect, so secondary chlorination is needed to ensure the safety and hygiene of tap water.
