Proper use of geyser is important in winter but safety is the most important thing while using it. Know why it is dangerous to take bath with the geyser on and why it is important to check the fitting and current from time to time.
As the winter season approaches, the need for geysers in homes increases. It becomes difficult to take bath with cold water and geyser helps us. But geyser is not just a convenience, if it is not used properly it can also become a cause of danger. Therefore it is very important to always use it safely. Let us know what special care should be taken with the geyser.
Do not take bath after switching on the geyser – The first and most important thing is that do not go straight into the water after switching on the geyser. Many people start taking bath immediately after turning on the geyser, which can be dangerous.
By doing this the risk of electric shock increases. Always allow enough time for the geyser to heat the water completely. If you feel that the water is still cold then postpone bathing. This not only reduces the risk of electric shock, but you also get comfortable hot water.
Check the fitting and current of the geyser – The second important step in the safety of the geyser is to check its fitting and wiring. From time to time, a tester should be used to check whether current is coming from the geyser.
There is a risk of electric short circuit or electrocution due to old geysers in the house or geysers with bad wiring. If at any time you feel a shock or a slight current in the water, immediately turn off the geyser and get it checked by an electrician.
There are more security tips
Always plug the geyser into the correct socket and do not keep it directly in a humid place. Try to ensure that the button and wiring of the geyser are in proper condition. Children or elderly people should not go near the geyser alone.
It is true that geyser makes our life easier in winter, but if we are careless in using it then it can also be dangerous. Therefore, always wait for the right time to turn on the geyser and keep checking the fittings and wiring regularly.
