💥 *Did you also wake up this morning to a leaking “dud shemesh” (solar/electric water heater)* ? ❄️ That’s because, due to the freezing temperatures, the plug burst apart from your solar panel. *If it did burst*:️ 🚰 Shut the water main to prevent the water from continuing to flow. 🔥 In systems that combine gas heating, shut the gas valve to prevent a gas leakage. 💡 Tip: The repair is probably covered by your insurance policy. It’s worth checking out! *How to prevent this from happening again*? On especially cold days: 🔥 Turn on your electric water heater from time to time. 💧 Open your hot water tap so that water trickles out a bit – leave it trickling especially at night. ♨️ If your home has a gas-powered water heating system (“Junkers”), turn it off and turn on the electric water heater and only afterwards, open the faucet so that water trickles out. 📱 *Follow the Ministry of Aliyah and Integration channel:* https://go.gov.il/wa-en
