The hazards of boiling water with electric heating rods

Hot water is indispensable in our lives, especially in winter. When the weather is cold, drinking hot water can warm our bodies. Hot water is also needed for washing. There are many ways to get hot water. The most popular one in the past was to use electric heating rods, but boiling water in this way will have an impact on our health. So, what are the hazards of boiling water with an electric heating rod? Let’s take a look below.

The hazards of electric heating rods

The electric heating rod is a high-power electrical appliance. Although it is small in size, its power is generally between 800 and 1000 watts (in addition, using a higher wattage one will save electricity because it will boil water faster). If the power cord is too thin, it will easily burn. Of course, there is a more important problem that most of the small enterprises in my country that produce this kind of small household appliances do not have strict quality control, which makes them unqualified when they leave the factory. The wiring ends of the two internal electrodes are too long or loose, causing the two wires to touch directly. In this way, no matter how good the raw materials are, they are bound to be damaged. In addition, the socket and the plug must be in good contact and not loose. Pay special attention to making sure the kettle is filled with water. Do not fill it with less just to drink a little water. Otherwise it will definitely go bad.

Precautions for boiling water with electric heating rod

1. When boiling water, the water must be soaked in the electric heating rod

2. Be sure to put it in something non-conductive to boil water

3. Do not touch the water when boiling because the water is charged.

4. Do not take it out immediately after boiling, because its heating wire has not cooled down yet, which is not good for the heating rod.

5. When using an electric heating rod, it is best to have enough time to turn off the power immediately after boiling.

6. Pay attention to the time interval during use to prevent the heating rod from bursting.

7. After using it for a period of time, use vinegar + wire brush to clean the scale on it after it cools down.

8. The power supply must be stable

9. After cooling down, wipe it with a dry cloth for next use.

Features of electric heating rods

1. Small diameter, can be 3-25MM.

2. The length is not limited and can be 20-2000MM.

3. High power, which is 2-5 times the power of normal electric heating tubes. Single-ended electric heating tubes can achieve (surface area 20 watts/square centimeter), and foreign countries can even achieve (surface area 60 watts/square centimeter).
