We should take special care of some things while using geyser.
Cold has knocked in most areas of North India. It is quite cold in the morning and evening. In this season, bathing in cold water becomes almost impossible. Along with bathing, hot water is also used extensively in winter for other purposes. Geysers are used to heat water in most of the houses during cold days. Geyser helps a lot in providing relief from cold but if it is not used properly then it can cause big trouble.
Although using a geyser is not rocket science, but if we are careless in using it, then many problems can arise. Many such cases have also come to light in which geysers have caused major accidents. If you are going to use geyser then you must keep some 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 the work is done. If you also do this, then change this habit of yours today itself. This habit of yours can invite a major accident. It may also explode if left on for a long time.
Keep the geyser off while bathing
Most geysers have a good capacity for water storage. In most of the houses, geysers with storage capacity of 5 litre, 10 litre, 15 liter or more are used. Despite having hot water storage, many people use the geyser by turning it on while bathing. You should avoid making this kind of mistake. If there is any fluctuation in electricity, then electric shock can occur in such a condition. Therefore, it would be wise to switch off the geyser while bathing.
Buy geyser only from certified company
You will find all types of geysers in the market, from cheap to expensive. If you are planning to buy a new geyser then you should buy the geyser from a certified company only. Many times, in order to cut costs, local companies compromise on safety features and this can lead to a major accident. The possibility of local geyser getting damaged 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, then you should check it properly before turning it on. Especially check its electrical connection properly. Be aware of how hot your geyser is getting. For better performance, keep the geyser between 45-50 degrees. Apart from this, if you are going to use the geyser for the first time in this season, then definitely get it serviced.
