The desire for hot water in winter should not open the way for untoward incidents, children become victims of accidents due to immersion rods, take these precautions!

Immersion rods are used in almost every house to heat water in winter, but in houses where there are small children, the precautions related to this increase even more. This small device is easy to use, but if used incorrectly, it can cause serious accidents. Especially children go near water out of curiosity and the danger increases. Therefore, parents should always be alert regarding safety while using immersion rods.

The first and most important precaution is to never keep the immersion rod where children can reach it. Whenever you put it in water, keep in mind that children should not come near the bathroom or the place where the bucket is. Small children try to touch shiny things and wires, which can be very dangerous. Therefore, it is better to keep the bathroom door closed while making hot water.

Before connecting the immersion rod to electricity, always check that the wire is not cut or loose anywhere. Even a small sparking can cause current to spread in water. If the wire looks old or the heater plug is loose, replace it immediately. Additionally, never plug the immersion rod with wet hands or use it near wet walls.

The most important rule after putting the immersion rod in water is – do not touch the water at all while heating it and do not let children come near this place. The metal surface of the immersion rod becomes very hot and can cause serious burns if a child accidentally touches it. Similarly, do not take the rod in hand immediately after the water is hot; Let it cool for a few seconds.

Another important rule is that the connection should never be made by putting it under water. First put the rod in water, then plug on. And when the water becomes hot, first close the plug and only then take out the rod. This simple procedure can save lives. These small precautions can save you from accidents that happen every day.
