    The water from the water heater cannot be cooked.

    After each use, a certain amount of water will remain at the bottom of the bladder, and it will be reheated again when it is used again. Due to water quality problems, the heated water will scale around the walls of the electric water heater and the electric heating rod, so that the microorganisms and impurities in the water have a place to multiply, and the water quality in the machine will be re-polluted.

    In addition, due to the large number of impurities in tap water, residual chlorine used for disinfection, sediment and rust in pipes will be brought into the water heater, making the water quality worse. If it is not cleaned for a long time, the scale attached to the heating rod will affect the heating efficiency and increase the energy consumption.

    It is not suitable for cooking, because the water circulation in the water heater is poor, and if it is not descaled for a long time, a large number of scale stains will accumulate in the water tank, which is not suitable for cooking or drinking.

    Water heater refers to a device that turns the temperature of cold water into hot water in a certain period of time through various physical principles. See below.

    1. No, you can't. Whether it is a solar water heater, a gas water heater or an electric water heater, most manufacturers will indicate "not edible" on their product manuals.

    2. The reason is that although the water entering the water heater is clean tap water, the materials of the supporting components of the water heater (such as metal pipes, etc.) may often contain some harmful poisons such as lead, cadmium, manganese, arsenic, etc.

    3. In addition, the temperature of heated water is generally between 40 and 70, which is suitable for the reproduction of bacteria and viruses. Moreover, water heaters with water storage function have a water storage tank, and the water that cannot be used up is stored in the tank, which will breed bacteria and pollute the previously heated water after a long time. So the water in the water heater is not drinkable.

    From the above article, it can be understood that the water from the water heater cannot be used for cooking.

    3. When using, if it is found that the water heater emits black smoke or flames burst out, it should be stopped immediately and repaired, and the exhaust flue should pay attention to prevent corrosion, and the flue should not be blocked.

    4. When using it intermittently, pay attention to the temperature of the hot water that flows out at the beginning, so as not to burn it, and the temperature of the water heater itself is high during use and just after use, so do not touch other parts with your hands except for the knob.
