10 precautions for water pressure test before heating
1. Pay attention to the water test notice on the bulletin board of each community, remember the specific date, and keep someone at home. If you hear the sound of water splashing in the heating pipe, it means that the water test has started, and it is necessary to open the damper to release the air in the pipe.
2. Office workers can turn off the water inlet and return water valves of the heating pipeline before going out, and open them after get off work, which does not affect the water test and does not have to worry about accidents during work. Some residents’ houses have been idle for a long time, please make sure to take time to go home to check the heating facilities, or leave effective contact information for the property management company and neighbors.
Geothermal users need to pay attention. If they do not want to heat, they should drain the water in the geothermal pipes to prevent the water from freezing and causing the geothermal pipes to burst. Look out for signs of water leaks in the ceiling of your home.
3. Comprehensively inspect the radiators, pipes and valves in the home, and close the valves in time for maintenance if they are found to be running, leaking, dripping or leaking.
4. Check whether the air release valve is tightly closed and water seeps. Open the air release valve to release the air after the heater is filled with water, and check whether the air release valve is easy to use.
5. The user cannot modify the heating equipment without permission, install a circulating pump, a water discharge valve, etc., otherwise he may face punishment.
6. If the heating burst occurs during the heating operation or just heating, it may be a problem with the heating itself, but it cannot be ruled out that the pressure is too high. The user should report for repairs and protect the site in time, and keep the evidence .
7. For residential buildings without households, the top-floor occupants should close the “top-floor air release valve” before the heating water test. After the water test, the top-floor occupants cooperate with the heating unit and use this valve to release the air.
8. If the heating user does not provide heating, the water in the pipeline should be drained by the air release valve to prevent the water in the pipeline from freezing due to low temperature.
9. Users who stop supplying should go through the procedures for stopping supply in advance, so that the heating company can confirm that the valve has been closed and there is no more water.
10. Once you find water running down the corridor or water from the heating pipes in the compound, immediately report the problem to the heating company you belong to.
