The safety of electricity consumption has always been our concern. On March 29th, a female body was found in a rented house in Fenghuang New Village, Longhua District, Haikou City. The body was found in the rental house, and the time of death was 6 pm on March 27. This female surnamed Chen, a junior in a university in Baoting, Hainan, is now in the internship period.

The situation during the investigation was that the bathroom door of the room was locked. When the male roommate who shared the house with her came back, she wanted to use the bathroom but found that the bathroom door was locked. Then she called the deceased, but the deceased did not answer. After several calls, she still didn't answer. She realized that something might happen, so she quickly called the police. When the police arrived at the scene, they found Chen Mou lying in the bathroom, breathless.

According to the description of the police at the scene and Chen Mou's father, when the deceased was found, the skin on his leg was burnt and his skin color was brown. Therefore, the police suspected that Chen Mou was electrocuted because the water heater leaked electricity while taking a bath.

In fact, water heater leakage is very common. If the water heater leaks in advance when taking a bath, you can avoid life-threatening. If you are in the shower, accidental electric shock of the water heater will lead to death, and there are many cases of death due to electric shock of the water heater in the shower, and the possibility of survival is not great.

What is the main reason for water heater leakage?

First, there is no grounding wire when the water heater is installed. If the water heater is installed without grounding wire, it is very likely to cause leakage. Moreover, if the ground wire is not used, the service life of the water heater is very short, so everyone must pay attention to connecting the ground wire when installing the water heater.

Second, the magnesium rod of water heater will be corroded if it is not replaced in time, because the water we use is corrosive. If used for a long time, the magnesium rod will be slowly corroded by water. If it is not found in time, it will cause leakage. Therefore, everyone must pay attention to the service life of the water heater in peacetime. Once it is more than three years and five years, it is best to ask the maintenance master to come to the door.

Third, the heating pipe of the water heater is corroded. If the heating tube of the water heater is corroded, it will lead to the perforation of the heating tube of the water heater and then expose the water surface, resulting in leakage.

Therefore, in normal times, we must pay attention to our personal safety, especially when taking a bath in a closed space. Check the water heater before taking a bath, or you won't be able to make a phone call at that time. Everyone must be cautious again.
