For health care, many people will choose to buy a foot bath. How to choose the foot bathtub in the market?
Foot bath as a hybrid electric appliance, the human body will directly contact with water when using, so the safety must be considered. Lu Jianguo, deputy chief engineer of China household electrical appliances research institute, said that there are two ways to heat the foot bath: one is direct heating, which is heated in water by electrified electric heating tube and electromagnetic tube. In use, there are problems such as aging or damage of the leakage proof device, and there are certain security risks. The other is indirect heating, which uses electric energy to turn part of water into steam, and then uses the heat of steam to heat the water in the basin, so as to avoid direct contact between charged equipment and water in the basin. In contrast, indirect heating is safer.
The convenience of choosing a foot bath also has to be considered. When pouring water into a single foot bath, it must be lifted together with the host, which is heavy, especially inconvenient for the elderly. The split type foot bath basin can take out the upper basin, and can be cleaned and disinfected separately, which is relatively more convenient; this design can also be equipped with multiple upper basins, which can be replaced, which is more suitable for families with large population.
Foot bath is very enjoyable, but remember to clean after enjoying it. Oh, so the problem is, how to clean it? Let's first look at the common structure of the foot bath.
According to the structure, the foot bath can be divided into one-piece type and separate type. The integrated type refers to that the water holding equipment of the foot bath basin is connected with the host part, while the split type foot bath basin, as the name implies, its basin can be easily taken out of the body, just like an electric rice cooker. In this way, when holding water and draining water, the basin can be taken out separately for operation.
At present, the foot bathtubs on the market are basically disinfection, massage, ozone, magnetic therapy and other functions, Lu Jianguo believes that these are not considered indicators when purchasing. Because the essence of the foot bath is a foot wash basin that can be heated, as long as the appropriate temperature can be maintained in a certain period of time is enough. Moreover, at present, the state does not have a clear standard for the foot bathtub, and its physiotherapy and other additional functions are mostly the publicity of merchants, and the efficacy is not exact, so it is not necessary to spend more money wrongly.
Many people have an idea when they buy a foot bath. They think that the deeper the water is, the better it is not to the lower leg. Manufacturers to cater to this psychology, the design of foot bathtub are deep barrels, of course, the price is also more expensive than low barrels. However, no scientific research has confirmed that the deeper the foot, the better. When you soak your feet, the water just doesn't cross the ankle. You don't have to pursue depth.
There are a lot of foot bathtubs in the market. It is suggested to choose big brand products with good reputation and perfect service.
There are also some safety precautions when using:
1. When starting the machine, make sure that there is water in the tub, and dry burning is strictly prohibited.
2. Pay attention to moderate water temperature, about 40 ℃.
3. Do not stand in the process of foot bath, so as to avoid cracking and danger.
4. It is forbidden to wipe and clean the barrel with chemicals such as alcohol.
5. It is not allowed to move the foot bath by dragging the power line, so as to avoid the damage and leakage of the power line, which may cause accidents.
6. Regular cleaning and disinfection, if family members have tinea pedis, it is best to do a basin of one person, do not mix.
