    1. If the water pipe has been frozen, you can bask in the sun for a while after the sun comes out to see if you can turn the water pipe. The premise is that the highest temperature during the day is above 0 degrees, and if the maximum temperature is still below zero, there is little hope of thawing yourself.

    2. After the water pipe is frozen, cover the faucet and water pipe with a towel or damp cloth, and unscrew the switch. Then, starting from the faucet, the hot water is slowly poured over the water pipe section by section, and gradually extended, so that the ice cubes in the pipe slowly melt, and the water can be restored soon.

    3. Use hair dryer for hair blowing: If the tap water pipe at home is PPR material and slightly frozen, you can use a hair dryer for hair blowing.

    4. If the sun can't melt the freezing, then it should be scalded with hot water. However, do not use hot water directly at the beginning, otherwise it is easy to cause water pipe damage. It should be poured with warm water several times, then take a pot of hot boiling water, and pour it evenly back and forth on the water pipe, being careful not to burn yourself.

    If the freezing is severe, you can pour it several times until the water pipe is boiled.

    5. Use a blowtorch to thaw. The blowtorch method is suitable for cast iron water pipes.

    6. Use warm water to thaw. Hot water can also be used to thaw tap water pipes, but be careful not to use boiling water, be sure to use lukewarm water, boiling water will cause the tap pipes to suddenly heat up, causing bursting. This method is also suitable for the thawing of water meters, and warm water can be used to thaw when there are no cracks in the water meter on the surface.

    7. If the water meter is severely frozen and cracked, you need to contact the property to replace the new water meter; Suggestion: Use insulation materials to insulate the water supply well to prevent freezing damage to the water meter.

    There are several ways to thaw it:

    1. Use hot water.

    Cover the faucet and water pipe with a towel or damp cloth and unscrew the switch. Then start from the faucet, pour it with warm water a few times, then take a pot of hot boiling water, and pour it evenly back and forth on the water pipe, being careful not to burn yourself. If the freezing is severe, you can pour it several times until the water pipe is boiled.

    2. Use a hair dryer.

    If the tap water pipe in your home is ppr material and slightly frozen, you can use a hair dryer to blow your hair, be careful not to blow in one place, but up and down, so that you can thaw the water pipe.

    3. Use a blowtorch.

    The blowtorch method is suitable for cast iron water pipes.

    4. Heating in the tube.

    For thicker pipes, you can use the pipe heating method, that is, after unloading the pipe interface, inject warm salt water into the pipe, and the water pipe will thaw quickly. However, this method is cumbersome and should be considered with caution.

    Four major tricks for water pipe anti-freezing.

    1. Wear clothes and hats.

    The temperature is low in winter, especially for the north, it is easy to freeze below zero degrees Celsius, and it is best to wrap a layer of cotton and linen fabrics, plastics, foam and other objects for water equipment such as water pipes, water meters, and faucets exposed to the outdoors. It plays the role of outdoor water pipe insulation.

    2. Close doors and windows tightly.

    Don't assume that your pipes won't freeze, and if you don't close your balcony, kitchen, bathroom, and all north-facing doors and windows at night to keep the temperature warm in the room, the pipes will still freeze.

    3. Drip antifreeze.

    In the process of water flowing, no matter how low the temperature is, it will not freeze, so for areas with a winter climate below five degrees Celsius, you can turn on the faucet a little at night to make the water flow in a line, so that it will not freeze.

    4. Heat transfer to water pipes.

    Now the popular electric heat tracing insulation bag is used in solar water heaters, but it is also feasible to use it in the insulation and heating of pipes, but it is a little expensive. Of course, it is also possible to use a hot towel and hot water to shower the pipe.

    1.Hair dryer defrosting method.

    Under normal circumstances, the frozen place is mostly the faucet, use the electric hair dryer to heat the frozen water pipe, remember to adjust the hair dryer to the highest temperature when heating, evenly blow the hot air, I don't know if it is frozen, you must start from the faucet first, and stop heating when the faucet starts to flow after the faucet is opened.

    2.Hot towel defrosting method.

    Wrap the water hose in a towel and pour boiling water, attention! Why use a towel instead of pouring hot water on it? If you pour hot water directly on the water pipe at the beginning, it is easy to cause the water pipe to break. Therefore, cover it with a hot towel and pour hot water evenly to better defrost it.

    3.Electric heating thawing method.

    Go to the heating material market to buy some electrically heated heat tracing, wrap the outdoor faucet and water pipe around the heat tracing, and then wrap it with thermal insulation cotton.

    Experience sharing of tap water thawing: first close all faucets, but the main valve should be opened. Use a 4-minute inner wire to 2-point joint to connect to the tap water, insert the 2-point pipe into the 2-point pipe, use the pump to pump air into the 2-point pipe, hit 50 times, hold the air in the tap pipe for 1 minute, immediately open the faucet to deflate, then there will be a small amount of water vapor sprayed out.

    Don't be discouraged, deflate about 50 to 100 times and the water will melt slowly. The principle is that the inflation pressure increases and the temperature increases. When the pressure drops suddenly, the frozen water pipe will vaporize instantly.

    If the water pipe changes to cold, congratulations means that the water pipe is melting ice. At this time, use a hair dryer to blow the cooler part of the water pipe until you touch it with your hands. Remember not to use hot boiling water, otherwise the pipe will burst and you can only use a hair dryer.

    Then inflate and deflate it a few times with a pump, and it will be 100% clear. I tried it myself.

    1. Do not twist the frozen water pipe, do not use pliers and other tools to start hard, and do not use fire or boiling water to pour it directly, otherwise it is easy to damage the faucet and cause the pipe or water meter to burst. The correct way to do this is to wrap the faucet in a towel and pour warm water along the faucet to thaw it down the pipe, or use a hair dryer to blow the faucet.

    2. The freezing of indoor pipes can be solved by increasing room temperature.

    Precautions for water pipe freezing:

    1. Protect the billing water meter, remove the stagnant water in the water meter well, and wrap the water meter and the front and rear water pipes in the meter well with thermal insulation materials to expose the dial for easy inspection.

    2. Close the doors and windows at night to ensure that the indoor temperature is above 0. In case of severe cold weather (below -3), in order to keep the faucet from freezing, the most effective way is to unscrew the faucet slightly after using the water, keep the drip or line flow state, and ensure the flow of tap water in the water pipe.

    When the water pipe is frozen, the following thawing method can be used according to the pipe:

    Hot water dissolution method: pour hot water on the frozen tap pipe (the temperature should be a little higher), especially at the elbow, until it is dissolved.

    Baking and dissolving method: If the frozen water pipe is a galvanized steel pipe, the water pipe can be baked with a hair dryer. Flood roasting should be carried out back and forth, and it should not be baked at one point for a long time, otherwise the water pipe will break. Aluminum-plastic pipes and PVC pipes cannot be used in this method.

    The water pipe in the community is frozen, if it is an iron water pipe, it can be scalded with boiling water, and if it is plastic, it can not be scalded, and the exposed ground can only be insulated, and the weather will be thawed.

    1. Once the water pipes freeze, residents like to pour boiling water on them. In fact, this is more likely to cause a water pipe to burst. If the frozen tube is only about 50 cm long, it can be sawn and replaced with a new one.

    If the length is tens of meters, this method is too wasteful. But we have no better way but to wait for it to thaw naturally.

    2. Bake or pour first, and then find ** cotton, asbestos and other thermal insulation jackets, if frozen in the ground to find a water company to solve, they have the obligation to deal with the matter.

    3. The water affairs department said that the public can also use water supply facilities for simple anti-freezing protection. For example, cotton cloth, styrofoam, wrap water pipes, water meters, and faucets. At night, close the windows of the kitchen and bathroom, or turn on the faucet to make the water flow in the pipe and not freeze.

    If the water pipe freezes, dry it with a hair dryer or wrap it in a towel and pour it slowly with warm water. Do not use fire baking or boiling water to burn urgently, otherwise the water pipes and water meters will burst.

    I saw it once at the time, you can't add too hot water. Warm water is fine, if it freezes, put the outer bread on the cloth and pour it outside with warm water several times. It's going to melt slowly!

    The first floor is just a palliative. Outdoor pipes and water tanks need to be coated with insulation materials, such as insulation cotton. The snorkel on the tank does not need to be completely wrapped.

    Dry pipe violentness has nothing to do with heating. The water freezes and expands in size, causing it to burst.

    Trying to achieve a thawing effect with salt is certainly not obvious. Because the contact area between the salt water and the icicles (hehe, it can also be said to be popsicles) in the tube is only as large as the cross-section of the nozzle, it will take a long time to melt all the ice in the entire tube.

    If you pour salt water into the tank in advance, as a stopgap measure, it is fine, but the taste is not good the next day. And the effect is still not obvious, because some of the brine in the tank will be used up at night, and part of the space in the pipe will be replaced by non-salt water, and this part of the pipe will also be frozen.

    In fact, the water pipe also needs to be kept warm, we can wrap a layer of bubble pad on its surface, or open the faucet a little before going to bed at night to let it produce water droplets, which can prevent the water pipe from being frozen. But when the pipes freeze, how do we thaw them? A few simple ways to help you solve this problem easily.

    Method 1: Hot water thawing method of towel.

    When the water pipe is frozen, we wrap the water pipe in a towel, and then boil a pot of hot water on it for watering, it can be thawed for normal use, if the freezing is more serious, you can water it for a while, remember not to pour hot water directly on the water pipe, direct contact between hot and cold can easily lead to the rupture of the water pipe.

    Method 2: Hair dryer thawing method.

    In fact, the hair dryer can not only dry the hair but also thaw, we will turn on the hair dryer hot air on the faucet to blow hot air evenly, if the faucet thaws, it will start to drip so that there is no need to blow the pipe; If it doesn't melt after blowing for a while, then blow the water pipe below. This method is simple and convenient, and it will solve the problem of freezing on the water pipe in a while.

    Is it the outside water pipe or the inside water pipe.

    Hot water scalding, wrap the water pipe tightly with a towel and pour hot water slowly; Hair dryer thawing, turn on the hot air of the hair dryer, blow on the water pipe, blow up and down, left and right angles when blowing, you can slowly thaw; Keep the water flowing, usually keep the faucet in a state of water flow, open it a little, so that the water is droplet-shaped, and it is not easy to be frozen.

    It depends on the surrounding environment to decide the plan. The heating pipe of DN125 is buried in the ground, which must be the main pipe, and it should also be overheated; After freezing for 60 meters, the pipeline must be frozen, the water is not circulating, and the buried depth of the pipeline is definitely not enough. First of all, it is necessary to excavate to expose the pipe; The simplest and cheapest way to do this is to bake it on a fire, not too aggressively, slowly, and from one end or two sections to the middle.

    One way is to warm the outer wall of the pipe with warm water. As long as the pipes are connected, the water in the heating pipes can be circulated, and the ice cubes will be automatically opened regardless of the water temperature.
