2.Install water quality processor: Magnetic water filters can be installed in areas with hard water to reduce scale deposition (recent e-commerce platform sales increased by 35%).
3.Regular sewage discharge: Open the exhaust valve every quarter to discharge impurities to avoid clogging and accelerating corrosion.
5. Recommendation of professional maintenance channels
| Service platform | Service scope | average response time | reference price |
|---|---|---|---|
| 58 cities | Major cities across the country | 2 hours | 80-150 yuan/time |
