1. How to Prevent Explosions in Hot and Cold Flasks?
Improper usage of hot and cold flasks is becoming a threat, posing danger to everyone, especially as winter approaches, and the usage of hot and cold flasks increases.
Recently, on October 24, social media was abuzz with a post from a mother about a hot and cold flask explosion incident in her family, causing many to be startled.
According to her, she turned on the hot and cold flask for 10 minutes and took the opportunity to get clothes for her child to bathe. However, when she stepped into the bathroom to drain the water, the flask short-circuited and exploded. Fortunately, she managed to grab her child and run outside, calling for help to cut off the power.
Although the authenticity is still uncertain, the post quickly garnered thousands of comments from the online community as a warning to everyone.
Here are some ways to safely use hot and cold flasks in winter:
Install additional anti-shock and anti-explosion systems

Don't hesitate to invest a little more in installing an anti-shock, anti-explosion system with your hot and cold water tank. During installation and use, the risk of electrical leakage, short-circuit, and explosions is always present, often overlooked by users. Therefore, compromising on safety could come at a very low cost for you and your loved ones at home.
Do not entirely rely on the installer; keep a vigilant eye on the process.
Regularly inspect your equipment
This applies not only to the hot and cold water tank but to all devices in your home. For the hot and cold water tank, operating in a humid environment increases the risk of oxidation and electrical leakage. Regular checks will help you quickly detect any issues for timely intervention.
Turn off the power when draining hot water
Many users keep their hot and cold water tank running 24/7, even during showers. They believe that there is a relay in the tank that automatically cuts off the power, so they keep it on continuously. However, electrical leakage is no joke, and turning on the hot and cold water tank while showering significantly increases the danger.

Before using water, just turn it on for 10-15 minutes, then turn it off, and you'll have enough water to use. For larger hot and cold water tanks, you can turn off the tank before the last person takes a shower.
This will not only increase your household electricity bill but also cause your hot and cold water tank to operate overloaded and deteriorate faster.
