What to do if the heater has trachoma
With the arrival of winter, the frequency of heating use increases, and many users report that trachoma problems occur in radiators, resulting in water leakage or reduced heating efficiency. This article will give you a detailed analysis of the causes, solutions and preventive measures of heating trachoma, and provide hot topic data on the entire network in the past 10 days for reference.
1. Analysis of the causes of heating trachoma

| Common causes | Specific instructions |
|---|---|
| water quality issues | Impurities or corrosive substances in the water corrode pipelines for a long time |
| Material aging | Cast iron radiators are prone to trachoma after being used for more than 10 years |
| Too much pressure | Heating system pressure exceeds pipe limits |
| Improper installation | There are weak points in the welding area |

3. Emergency treatment plan
1.temporary fix: Use epoxy resin glue or special metal repair agent, clean the surface and apply it. The curing time is about 2-4 hours.
2.emergency stop leak: If water leakage is found, immediately close the corresponding valve and use rubber pads + pipe clamps to fix the leakage point.
3.Professional welding: Contact the property management or professional maintenance personnel to use argon arc welding to repair (suitable for larger trachoma)
4. Comparison of long-term solutions
| Plan | cost | Service life | Applicable situations |
|---|---|---|---|
| partial repair | 50-200 yuan | 1-3 years | single small trachoma |
| Whole replacement | 800-3000 yuan | More than 10 years | Aging in multiple parts |
| System cleaning | 200-500 yuan | preventive maintenance | Areas with poor water quality |
5. Suggestions on preventive measures
1. Carry out system pressure test every year before heating. Recommended pressure value:0.8-1.2MPa
2. Install the water quality filter. Recommended replacement cycle:every 2 years
3. Pipeline renovation is recommended in old communities, and new aluminum-plastic pipes have improved corrosion resistance.60%
4. Keep the pipes full of water during non-heating periods to prevent oxidation of the inner wall
6. Maintenance precautions
1. Before repairing, be sure to close the main valve of the heating system and confirm that the pipes are completely cooled.
2. Required after repair24-hour stress test(Maintain 1.5 times working pressure)
3. Welding operations must be performed by personnel with special operating qualifications
4. It is recommended to keep maintenance records as a basis for subsequent quality accountability.
According to recent consumer complaint data, heating problems account for up to 10% of home repair reports in winter.35%, of which trachoma water leakage accounts for approximately62%. It is recommended that users promptly contact the local heating company or professional maintenance agency if they encounter problems.
