Necessity of cleaning the water dispenser
In fact, under normal circumstances, if the water dispenser is not cleaned for more than 3 months, a large number of bacteria and harmful substances will be produced after entering the human body. Digestive, nervous, urinary and hematopoietic system lesions! The water dispenser is an indispensable small electrical appliance in daily life, but according to a survey, many common gastrointestinal diseases such as diarrhea and vomiting are caused by not cleaning the water dispenser for a long time. The so-called disease enters from the mouth, the disinfection and cleaning of the water dispenser cannot be ignored!
The ordinary water dispenser will bring in a lot of air bubbles when pouring water, and these air bubbles will carry some bacteria into the bottled water. On the other hand, if the inside of the water dispenser is used for a long time without cleaning, the water storage tank, water channel and water outlet will deposit dirt and breed a large number of bacteria. Therefore, regular disinfection of the water dispenser is absolutely impossible.
1. First, the water dispenser should avoid sunlight
The placement of the water dispenser is related to the water quality. In addition to keeping the environment dry and clean, the place where the water dispenser is located must be cool and dark, and must not be exposed to direct sunlight. If it is really difficult, also add a light-proof barrel cover to the bottled water.
Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight may cause “moss” to appear in the bottled water. This “moss”, called green algae, is the oldest single-celled plant, not a bacteria. Chlorella spores are mixed into water with the air. Mineral water and mountain spring water have mineral nutrients. Under sunlight, photosynthesis occurs, and green algae will multiply. Therefore, the water dispenser should be placed out of the sun, and cleaned and disinfected regularly.
2. Secondly, the water in the water dispenser should be consumed within 7 days, and the shelf life is generally 3 months.
The shelf life of bottled water is the most easily overlooked . Every time the water delivery workers come to the door, few families pay attention to the production date and shelf life of bottled water, and accidentally drink “expired water”. Generally speaking, the shelf life of bottled water on the market is about 3 months, and some companies have a product shelf life of 1 month. Therefore, bottled water can easily expire.
In addition, experts also suggest that bottled water should be consumed as soon as possible, preferably within a week. Some families with a small population can drink it within 8-10 days. Bottled water has been stored for a long time, it is best to boil it and drink it.
3. The water dispenser should be cleaned once every 3 months, and it is best to boil the drinking water in the office
The water dispenser has ventilation holes, which may bring in microorganisms and bacteria; At the same time, the water contains a small amount of mineral deposits, and the water dispenser is easy to scale after being used for a long time. Therefore, the water dispenser needs to be cleaned regularly to avoid microbial growth, scale deposition, and keep the water clean and hygienic. The water dispenser generally needs to be cleaned every 3 months to half a year.
To clean the water dispenser, it is necessary not only to clean, but also to be professionally disinfected. It is not enough to clean with detergent only, and special cleaning agent (chlorine dioxide disinfectant) is required for cleaning shops. It is best to call the water delivery shop and let a professional come to clean it. After cleaning, it is best to drain some water before drinking.
It should be noted that many office water dispensers are often not cleaned. Before drinking water, it is best to boil the water before drinking.
In addition, many people only pay attention to the internal health of the water dispenser and forget that the water outlet is also very important. The water outlet is the place that has the most frequent contact with the outside world, and is also the place where scale is most likely to form. It is recommended that the water outlet is scaled, and it is best to replace it. Generally, it can be solved for a few dollars.
Six health questions about water dispensers
1. Why should drinking water be cleaned?
Drinking water After the machine is used for a long time, impurities in the water are repeatedly precipitated in the water storage tank, smart seat or hot and cold water pipes in the machine, and nearly 1000 ml of water in the water tank is ignored (when the water is changed each time). This water will hide pathogenic bacteria, and over time it will naturally become a breeding ground for bacteria. Bacteria that multiply continuously can cause digestive, urinary, nervous system and other diseases after being consumed by people. Direct drinking water dispenser
2. The bottled drinking water removes substances harmful to the human body. The water quality is clean and the taste is mellow, which is loved by consumers. So, is the water in the mouth clean?
The answer is: drinking imported water is not clean in more than 95% of cases. Because even when fully qualified bottled water is used in the water dispenser, bacteria will enter the water dispenser and breed on the inner wall of the water storage tank and cold water pipeline, and the temperature of the water storage tank of most water dispensers is about 30 degrees Celsius, which is a breeding ground for bacteria. , it takes about 20 minutes to reproduce a generation. According to the test by the Shanghai Municipal Health and Epidemic Prevention Department, the total number of bacterial colonies in the cold water released by 19 drinking fountains exceeded the national health standard (no more than 20 cells/ml for pure water, and no more than 50 cells/ml for mineral water), or more than 10 times the standard. More than a few hundred times the standard.
3. What are the benefits of cleaning the water dispenser?
Regular cleaning of the water dispenser will ensure the safe operation of the water dispenser.
4. Why are there foreign objects (ants, insects) in the water connected to the water dispenser at home?
The water dispenser may be long There are foreign objects entering the water dispenser without cleaning time. In fact, there will be dust and debris entering the water dispenser through the air pressure hole, so that the water dispenser is subject to secondary pollution, and the serious pollution is in the water dispenser. It can even grow moss and live a lot of bacteria.
5. How is the water dispenser cleaned?
Due to the special structure of the water tank, smart seat, and hot and cold water pipes, general detergents are used , cleaning and other methods are often ineffective. The descaling cleaning solution developed by Beijing Procter & Gamble Company can quickly, thoroughly and safely remove dirt and bacteria from water storage tanks, smart seats, hot and cold water pipes, and achieve ideal results.
6. How often should the water dispenser be cleaned?
Disinfection of the water dispenser is generally 1-2 times a month in summer and 1-2 times a month in winter Once a month is enough.
