2. Install a water leak alarm (market price 150-400 yuan)
3. Avoid drilling holes in the ground (statistics show that 43% of water leakage is caused by electric drilling construction)
4. Choose PEX-A material pipe (anti-aging performance is better than PE-RT)
6. Special reminder from experts
Professor Wang, an HVAC expert at the China Academy of Building Sciences, pointed out: "The recent cold wave weather has caused the thermal expansion and contraction of floor heating pipes in many places to intensify, and the number of water leaks has increased by 37% compared with previous years. It is recommended that users report minor leaks for repair in time to avoid developing pipe burst accidents."
