Can the water keep flowing in the cold winter?

I won't. Water does not freeze when it flows in a water pipe. In order to prevent water pipes from freezing, users can turn on the tap before going to bed at night to let the water flow long, which can generally avoid freezing at low temperature in the morning.

Iron pipes freeze easily, while plastic pipes and rubber pipes don't. Small diameter is easy to freeze, but large diameter is not easy to freeze. It is easy to freeze when the flow speed is slow, and it is not easy to freeze when the flow speed is fast. Low ambient temperature is easy to freeze, and high ambient temperature is not easy to freeze.

Water pipe antifreeze method:

1. Anti-freezing measures for pipelines: Exposed water supply pipelines, water meters and faucets can be wrapped with cotton and linen fabrics, foamed plastics or other professional thermal insulation materials.

Please close the doors and windows and keep the room temperature before going to bed. At the same time, close the water meter inlet valve, turn on the faucet, and drain the remaining water in the water pipe.

3. For the water meter that has not been used for a long time, you can apply to close the control valve in front of the water meter and drain the water in the water meter and the pipeline behind the water meter.

If the water pipe has been frozen, first wrap the frozen faucet, water meter and water pipe with a hot towel, then pour warm water (no more than 60 degrees Celsius) along the water pipe or hair dryer to thaw the faucet, then unscrew the faucet and slowly pour warm water along the faucet until the water pipe thaws. During this period, it is forbidden to bake with fire and knock with metal appliances to prevent damage to water supply facilities.
