For two or three weeks, communal services "delight" us with a blackout, and this is one of the main sorrows of every summer. There are several options for a comfortable existence in this difficult time.
Instruction manual
1
You can deal with the shutdown of hot water in the old "grandfather" method. Warm the water in large pots and wash it by watering yourself from the bucket. A big disadvantage of this method is its energy consumption - you will have to spend a lot of effort, time, electricity or gas in order to wash the whole family.
2
You can negotiate with friends who turn off the hot water at another time. First, you will come to them “for washing, ” and then they will come to you.
3
If you know the timing of turning off the water in advance, you can try to schedule a vacation by this time. It is much more pleasant to spend weeks off on the beach, where you can swim as much as you want.
4
During the shutdown of hot water supply, start actively visiting the pool, sauna or gym. In these places you can always take a shower.
5
Radically solve the problem will help the installation of an electric water heater. These devices are of two types: flowing and storage. In the first unit, the water becomes warm quite quickly, passing through special elements. The flow heater is quite compact and inexpensive. However, it has its drawbacks: high power consumption and low productivity (water heats slightly).
6
The storage heater is a large tank in which the liquid is gradually heated to the desired temperature. A family of 3-4 people is enough to purchase a unit for 50-80 liters. The undoubted advantages of this technique include efficiency (low electricity consumption) and ease of use (water remains hot for a long time). The disadvantages of the storage heater include its large size. Installing heaters will help you out not only during the planned shutdown season, but will also help during emergency cases when the hot water supply is turned off.
