Washing clothes, cooking, washing vegetables, washing dishes, unscrew the faucet there is a steady stream of water, which greatly facilitated our lives. However, with the arrival of winter, under the test of severe cold weather, running out of drip and leakages in the  water pipelines began to increase. In particular, from time to time, some communities are suffering from water and mountainous conditions due to the pipe cracking. This not only causes inconvenience to residents' daily life but also creates a great waste of water resources.

review

In just one month, the water supply pipeline in Area F of Shenhua Kangcheng Community in Kangsax District of Erdos County burst four times, resulting in the failure of nearly one thousand residents to use water normally. On the afternoon of November 7, Mr. Wang, a resident of Area F of Shenhua Cannes Residential District, told reporters that when he lived in the district two years ago, his water supply pipe in the district was only occasionally broken and the property company quickly repaired Residents of the water has not been how to be affected. However, from the beginning of this year, the district's water supply pipe often burst. Residential residents can not accept the most is that in October actually appeared in the water supply pipe burst 4 times, seriously affecting the normal life of residents.

analysis

First, there is a problem with the quality of pipeline procurement.

     According to the information reported in the news, the district's pipeline rupture is not once or twice. The frequent rupture of the water supply pipe reflects the quality of the water supply pipe procurement in the district during the construction. In other words, poor quality steel pipe because of life, pipe strength and other reasons, frequent leaks is the case of reason.

Second, the construction process is flawed.

     According to media reports, the residential water supply pipe cracking frequently, the pipeline crack mouth can not be ignored reason. This shows that in the pipeline during the construction process, the construction side of the process in the pipeline installation process flaws, this defect directly led to the latter part of the pipeline melt mouth, running water frequently freak out.

Third, serious pipeline aging, strength decline.

     In fact, the rupture of the water pipe in winter is mainly concentrated in the old residential area. The tap water pipes in this part of the district are more cast iron pipes than the current mainstream galvanized steel pipes. Compared with galvanized steel pipe, the cost of such steel pipe is low, but the pipeline strength is poor, which is not strong enough against the bitter and cold weather. Therefore, it is quite normal for pipes to be broken in winter because the pipe is frozen.

tips

Relevant statistics show that the average leakage rate of water supply pipelines in our country is 15.7%, even up to 30% in some places, while the highest level in developed countries is 6% to 8%. Lack of pipelines has led to the loss of over 7 billion cubic meters of tap water each year in our country, which is equivalent to "missing" one Taihu Lake in a year and enough population for 100 million urban residents. In my opinion, to avoid this from happening, we can try from the following aspects:

First, put on the water pipe "cotton clothing."

     According to my understanding, the indoor water pipe antifreeze in the project is relatively simple, but for the outdoor water pipe antifreeze method will be more trouble in outdoor water pipes for antifreeze, the tap can be used cotton, linen, straw rope Bandage, but also with cotton fabric or frost-proof sleeves will be tightly wrapped, it is best to multi-wrap the water pipe, so as to effectively enhance the water pipe warmth, thereby preventing the water pipe is frozen. Water pipes at both ends of the pipe and the exposed pipe on the ground, but also with cotton fabric wrapped, and keep the water box dry cover lid tightly, after the snow, to promptly remove snow on the meter box to prevent the snow melted inflow Water meter box.

Second, keep the temperature of the water pipe.

     Water pipe antifreeze method is the most important thing is to ensure the temperature of the water pipe to avoid water pipe temperature is too low, which can effectively prevent the water pipe to freeze. If the water pipe has been frozen to the faucet has been frozen, water pipes, water meters, wrapped with hot towel taps, and then tap water with warm water to thaw, but we must remember that the hot water can not be too hot water, at The most important thing to do when thawing is to control the water temperature so that it will not cause any damage to the water pipe at the same time so that the water pipe can be used normally.

Third, strict procurement of engineering.

 In fact, the rupture of the water pipe in winter is mainly concentrated in the old residential area. The tap water pipes in this part of the district are more cast iron pipes than the current mainstream galvanized steel pipes. Compared with galvanized steel pipe, the cost of such steel pipe is low, but the pipeline strength is poor, which is not strong enough against the bitter and cold weather. Therefore, it is quite normal for pipes to be broken in winter because the pipe is frozen.
