1, don't set obstacles in the water meter well, and keep it clean. The water meter well should be filled with sawdust or other thermal insulation materials, covering 20 cm above the water meter to prevent frost cracking.
2. Outdoor water pipes and faucets can be wrapped with old towels, cotton and linen fabrics or straw ropes.
3. Turn off the water meter valve before going to bed. Turning on the tap to drain the remaining water in the water pipe is also a good way to prevent the inner pipe from freezing and cracking.
In case of freezing, the following measures can be taken:
1, the frozen galvanized steel pipe can be poured with warm water, especially at the elbow, and can also be dried with a hair dryer, but it can't be dried at the same point for a long time, otherwise it will easily cause the tap water pipe to break; For aluminum-plastic pipes, PVC pipes, PE pipes and PPR pipes, wrap them with towels and slowly pour in warm water. Never bake it directly with fire or scald it with boiling water, so as not to cause the pipe or water meter to burst.
2. If the water meter is frozen, it is forbidden to spray overheated boiling water directly on the surface of the water meter. It should be sprayed with warm water not exceeding 60 degrees Celsius, and it is forbidden to bake with fire. If the glass on the surface of the water meter has been frozen and cracked, the user should immediately contact the water company and ask for a new meter to avoid water loss.
In addition, it is not recommended to use what many users call "running water to prevent freezing", that is, turn on the tap to let the water flow to prevent freezing, because it will waste a lot of clean water. We call on all sectors of society to enhance water-saving awareness, use water rationally, save water, abolish the anti-freezing method of tap water, save precious water resources and build a conservation-oriented and harmonious society.
