Cold weather has hit most parts of northern India. It is quite cold in the morning and at night. In this season, bathing in cold water becomes almost impossible. In addition to bathing, hot water is also widely used for other purposes in winter. Geysers are used to heat water in most homes during cold days. Geyser helps a lot to relieve a cold, but if not used correctly it can cause big problems.
Although using a geyser is not rocket science, if we are careless in using it, many problems can arise. Many such cases have also come to light where geysers have caused serious accidents. If you are going to use a geyser, you should keep a few things in mind.
never leave it on for too long
It is often seen that people leave the geyser on for a long time even after finishing the work. If you do this too, then change this habit of yours today. This habit of yours can cause a serious accident. It can also explode if left on for too long.
Keep the geyser off while bathing
Most geysers have a good water storage capacity. Geysers with storage capacity of 5 liters, 10 liters, 15 liters or more are used in most homes. Despite having a hot water tank, many people use the geyser by turning it on while bathing. You should avoid making these types of mistakes. If there is any fluctuation in electricity then electric shock may occur in such condition. Therefore, it would be advisable to turn off the geyser while bathing.
Buy geyser only from a certified company.
You will find all types of geysers on the market, from cheap to expensive. If you are planning to buy a new geyser, you should only buy it from a certified company. Many times, to reduce costs, local companies make compromises on safety features and this can lead to a serious accident. The possibility of damage to the local geyser is also quite high.
Check before using for the first time.
If you are going to use the geyser once again in this winter season, you must check it properly before turning it on. Especially check your electrical connection correctly. Be aware of how hot your geyser is getting. For best performance, keep the geyser between 45 and 50 degrees. Apart from this, if you are going to use the geyser for the first time this season, definitely get it checked.
