How to prevent water pipes from freezing?

1. People can wrap indoor and outdoor water supply pipes (including outdoor solar water supply pipes), valves, faucets and other water facilities with materials such as cotton, hemp, straw ropes and polyethylene insulation pipes to keep warm and prevent freezing;

2. At night, the kitchen, bathroom and all shady rooms should close the windows to ensure that the indoor temperature is above zero degrees Celsius;

Generally, water will not freeze when it flows in the water pipe. To keep the water pipe from freezing, it is best to turn on the tap slightly after using water at night to let the fine water flow for a long time, and generally avoid freezing at low temperature in the morning;

4. Close the gate valve on the water meter and drain all the water in the tap water pipe.

Thawing skills:

1. For frozen water pipes, users can wrap them with hot towels and pour warm water (the water temperature is not higher than 30 degrees), especially the elbows, until the water thaws.

2. If the frozen tap water pipe is galvanized steel pipe, you can bake it back and forth with a hair dryer, but you can't bake it for a long time, otherwise the tap water pipe will break. Plastic pipes such as aluminum-plastic pipes, PPR pipes and PE pipes cannot be baked.
