Extreme caution should be exercised while using electrical devices. Be it summer or winter, different types of electrical appliances are used in both. Room heaters, water heaters, and geysers are used extensively in winter. Now that winter has arrived once again, there is a need for hot water. To avoid cold, geysers or water heater rods, which we also call immersion rods, are used a lot in most homes to heat water. If you are also going to use it, then there is some useful news for you. 

Y geysers are quite expensive and not everyone can afford them. In such a situation, many times people use water heater rods to heat water. Water heater rods heat water but they are also quite dangerous. Therefore, if we are a little careless while using them, it can cause huge losses. They are more risky than geysers. If you use immersion rods, then you should keep some things in mind.

Never make this mistake witan the immersion rod.

1. If you are going to use a water heater rod to avoid cold then you should avoid using an old heater rod.
2. Always use the water heater rod in a plastic bucket. Never use it on an iron bucket.
3. Switch on the water heater rod only after putting it in water. Do not touch the bucket after switching it on.
4. If there is less water in the bucket, never pour water in it while the heater is on. This can give you a severe electric shock. 
5. It is often seen that when needed, people start drawing hot water from the bucket while the heater is on. Do not make such a mistake even by mistake. 
6. If the water has become hot and you have switched off the water heater rod, do not remove it from the water immediately, remove the rod from the water only after 15-20 seconds of switching it off.
7. Many people keep the water heater rod on for hours. Never make such a mistake. If you are heating water using a heater rod, then heat it at the optimal temperature.
8. If you are going to buy a new immersion rod, then buy only heaters withan  ISI mark. Buy only immersion rods with a voltage between 1500-200 watts and 230-250.
9.  Many people put the immersion rod in less than half a bucket of water. Never make such a mistake. Keep enough water in the bucket so that the rod is completely immersed.
