Some toilet cleaners will corrode the sewer and cause them to flow into the faucet. Therefore, when purchasing, you should choose some safe and non-corrosive toilet cleaners, such as Weishiwei, which is non-corrosive and safe to use. You don’t have to worry about blue water coming out of the faucet one day.

2. The harm of toilet cleaner to human body

Currently, many high-end toilet tanks are equipped with check valves to prevent backflow. If the toilet tank in your home is still an old-fashioned float valve tank, there is a greater possibility of backflow. Because the components of the float valve water tank are made of poor material and the workmanship is not high, poor sealing will occur over time, which is a potential cause of backflow.

Try not to use toilet cleaners, or install a check valve on the toilet

The ingredients of toilet cleaners are mostly inorganic acids, organic acids, corrosion inhibitors, thickeners, surfactants, etc.

The acidic substances in toilet cleaners will corrode water tank components, shorten the service life of the toilet, and pollute water sources, thus affecting the environment. If people drink water containing toilet cleaner, it may affect their health, but there is currently insufficient evidence to prove that toilet cleaner can cause cancer.

The harm of toilet cleaner to human body

The water supply company recommends that citizens avoid using cleaning products such as toilet cleaners as much as possible, "many natural detergents are also effective in cleaning, such as white vinegar, baking soda, etc."

There is also a simple way to prevent the water in the toilet tank from flowing back: install a check valve outside the water inlet of the toilet tank. Its working principle is similar to that of a heart valve. It pushes the valve open when water flows in. If water flows back, the valve will be immediately pushed closed from the inside. The market price of this check valve is 20 to 30 yuan, and it is very easy to install for professional plumbers.

What to do if you encounter "blue water"? Turn on the tap and let more water flow

What should you do if "blue water" appears when you turn on the tap at home?

There is no good solution at present. You can only turn on the tap and let more water in, drain out all the "blue water", and then use the tap water normally after the color returns to normal. Of course, the discharged water should not be wasted. Although it cannot be drunk, it can be kept for mopping the floor and flushing the toilet.

In addition, residents are advised to regularly check and promptly replace the check valve of the toilet tank, and try to avoid using toilet cleaners to ensure the safety and hygiene of tap water.
