Water heater is an electronic device used to heat water for bathing purposes. By installing a water heater, homeowners can enjoy the comfort and convenience of warm showers.

However, as with any electronic device, it is important to be cautious during the installation process and avoid any hasty measures. This is especially true for electric water heaters, as proper installation is crucial for ensuring a safe bathing experience. Nobody wants to encounter any unwanted incidents, such as electric shocks, while enjoying a warm shower with a water heater. Therefore, it is essential to prioritize safety when installing a water heater at home. So, what are the safe practices for installing a water heater? Here are some tips:

1. Ensure that the electrical socket or power source is in accordance with the national safety standards and properly grounded.
Selecting the electrical socket or power source in your home should comply with the applicable safety standards, such as the national safety standard. This ensures that the products used are guaranteed to be safe. Also, don't forget to check if the grounding in your home is properly installed.

2. Regularly inspect the electrical installation in your home (check for frayed wires, loose plugs) and consider hiring a professional electrician.
Not only humans but also any objects that are still in use should be regularly checked for their suitability, including the electrical aspects of your home. Make sure to have a professional electrician inspect the electrical installation.

3. Ensure that the electrical socket in the bathroom is not exposed to water splashes and is dry.
Placing an electrical socket in the bathroom should also be considered. Since it's a bathroom, there is a potential risk of water splashes that can be hazardous. Position the socket at a high level where it is out of reach of water.

4. If using a water heater in the bathroom, make sure that your unit is equipped with an ELCB (Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker)
feature that prevents electric leakage in case of product malfunction. An important aspect of the water heater unit is the presence of an ELCB feature. The ELCB helps prevent electric leakage that could pose a risk to your safety during bathing, especially in case of product malfunction or electric leakage.

5. It is recommended to perform regular maintenance of your water heater unit at least once a year.
Similar to the above electrical inspections, the water heater unit also requires periodic maintenance. It is recommended to have the unit undergo maintenance at least once a year. This is to check for any issues and ensure prompt repairs if any problems are found.
