I found that there was an electric charge when washing my hands in the sink. I used an electric pen to measure it and found out that there was really an electric leakage. Fortunately, I didn't take a shower.
I turned on the faucet and found that hot water could scald a pig to death. At night, I found that the side of the water heater had already exploded with heat

Do not buy inferior products
Do not purchase low-priced or second-hand electric water heaters on the market. These inferior products generally do not have leakage safety protection devices or have expired devices. Do not take advantage of cheap prices.
Monthly self check of leakage protection switch
The leakage protection switch has a "T" button, with the words "press once a month" or "test once a month" written next to the button. This button is the legendary "life-saving button" - the analog leakage button.
This button should be pressed once a month to simulate a leakage problem in the home circuit, in order to observe whether the leakage protection function of the air switch is normal.

When the "safety button" is pressed, if the power switch trips, it indicates that the leakage protection function of the air switch is normal and available. At this time, only the switch needs to be closed.
If the power switch does not trip after pressing the "life-saving button", it indicates that the leakage protection function of the air switch has malfunctioned and cannot provide automatic power-off protection. At this time, it is necessary to immediately replace the air switch device.
Power off before taking a shower
After storing water, first boil the hot water to the specified temperature, then disconnect the power before taking a shower. Heating while washing can increase the risk of electric shock.
Regularly replace the electric water heater

Tap water contains a large amount of calcium and magnesium ions, which can adhere and corrode the inner liner and heated magnesium rod of the electric water heater during continuous use. There is a risk of electric leakage, so it is necessary to regularly replace the magnesium rod of the electric water heater.
The service life of electric water heaters
Usually 6-8 years, requiring timely replacement
If it continues to be used beyond its service life
There will be security risks!
