The main reason is that the ambient temperature outside is too low, so we can wrap a layer of cotton and linen fabric, old cotton clothes or cotton wool on the faucet to prevent the faucet from freezing by increasing the temperature on the outside of the faucet.
2. The freezing point of water is 0 degrees Celsius. As long as the environment where the faucet is located is higher than 0 degrees Celsius, the faucet will not be frozen. Therefore, before going to bed at night, you must close the doors and windows. Now the glass is thicker The glass has a very good thermal insulation effect. As long as the doors and windows are closed, the ambient temperature in the house will generally be above 0 degrees Celsius, which can prevent the faucet from freezing.
