Problems and solutions for flexible metal hose
All items have a limited service life, and silicone tubes, which are commonly found in daily life, are no different. Maintaining silicone hoses is thus essential. Orientflex is here to guide you on how to keep your silicone tubes in good condition in your everyday life.
Typically, the inner parts of water dispenser pipes can suffer significant damage. This happens because boiling water runs through the silicone tubes. You should especially check the connecting parts regularly. High temperatures can cause them to deform. Moreover, problems also arise when hot and cold water are involved. Due to the designs of some water dispensers, the hot and cold pipes may be placed close to each other. This proximity directly affects the pipes’ performance. For instance, the hot water may lose its heat, and the cold water may turn warm.
Precautions for Maintaining Silicone Hoses
Firstly, silicone tubes generally don’t need replacement during use. High – quality silicone tubes can last for years. If there’s damage, it’s usually due to improper handling. So, you must pay attention to details. When removing the tubes from water dispensers or air conditioners, be careful. These tubes are thin, so don’t pull or tear them forcefully.
Secondly, the cleaning fluid you choose matters. Clean both the inside and outside of the tubes. However, for appliances like air conditioners and water dispensers, it’s best not to use cleaning fluid. This way, you can avoid any unwanted odors from the cleaning fluid during future use.
Silicone tubes are used in various aspects of our lives, including water dispensers, air conditioning connecting pipes, and some kitchen utensils. Implementing the maintenance measures mentioned above is quite easy. The key is to clean the tubes frequently. You can even take them out for a more thorough cleaning.
