Can I drink water boiled from the electric water heater in the bathroom?

Not drinkable. 1.The water inside the water heater is not boiling, which is easy for bacteria to grow, and my Haier electric water heater is up to 75 degrees. And in order to prevent the dry boiling water heater from constantly entering and exiting the water, repeated boiling of the water will produce nitrite, which is harmful to the human body.

2.Electric water heaters are generally heat storage type, in order to make the inner tank free of scale, often equipped with magnesium rods (or aluminum rods), in order to play the role of less or no scale. Magnesium is more active than iron, and the oxygen ions in the water will react with the magnesium ions first, and the magnesium oxide will be discharged with the water flow, without first reacting with the iron ions in the inner tank to damage the inner tank.

Therefore, the water in the water heater contains a small amount of metal ions such as magnesium oxide, which is not suitable for direct drinking.

The electric water heater used in the bathroom cannot boil the water, and it cannot be drunk directly, even if it is boiled and drunk, it is not recommended, of course, it will not be poisoned but it should not be drunk.
