Question: What things should be kept in mind while installing a geyser in the house?
Answer – Like any other electronic item, the geyser also needs care. Generally, people install geysers in the bathroom. However, if the geyser is not properly installed in the bathroom, it can also be dangerous.
Understand from the chart below what kinds of precautions should be taken while installing the geyser.
Let us understand these points given in the graph in detail.
Use metal pipe instead of plastic pipe
The inlet and outlet pipes of the geyser should be made of metal rather than plastic. Metal pipes are strong and durable, and can withstand the high temperature and pressure of the geyser.
Keep a space between the wall and the geyser
It is important to maintain a gap of a few centimeters between the wall and the geyser. From this
There is ease of maintenance. In case of any problem, the parts of the geyser can be easily replaced. Other than that, there is no current in the wall due to a short circuit.
Keep the height of 6 feet in mind
The geyser must be installed at a height of at least 6 feet or 1.8 meters from the ground. This not only ensures a good supply of hot water, but there is also no risk of electric shock.
It is necessary to make the connection with MCB
MCB i.e. Miniature Circuit Breaker is an electromechanical device that protects the geyser from electrical overloads and short circuits. It works like a switch. When the current exceeds a certain limit, the MCB trips. This reduces the risk of fire. So, while installing, make sure your geyser connection is connected to the MCB or not.
Question: What kind of precautions should be taken while using the geyser?
Answer: Geyser is such a thing which remains in contact with high temperature, water and electricity at the same time. You should therefore be very careful when using it. A little carelessness can cause a major accident.

Question: What temperature should the geyser be set to?
Answer – The water temperature for bathing should be between 40 degrees and 45 degrees Celsius. However, some people set the temperature of the geyser much higher. In such a situation, as soon as the shower is turned on, the water becomes very hot. After that, cold water is added to it. So that the water temperature returns to normal. This not only leads to wastage of electricity but also puts stress on the internal system of the geyser. ,
