Did you know that pouring hot water directly into the sink can do more harm than good?

This habit may seem harmless, but it can cause damage to pipes and sewer systems and affect both the economy and the environment.
Harmful effects of pouring hot water into the sink
Causes aging of drain pipes

Unlike in the past, sink drain pipes were often made of metal, but today they are being replaced by plastic pipes that can withstand high temperatures. Therefore, frequent draining of hot water will cause some aging of the pipe, which will affect the life of the drain pipe in the long run. This leads to damage, which means you have to spend more money on drain pipe repair and replacement.

The drain pipe is deformed and tears easily

The heat resistance of drain pipes also depends on the material from which the drain pipe is made. If your family uses PVC drain pipes, be careful because some types cannot withstand temperatures above 60 degrees. Therefore, if you pour vegetable broth or vegetable blanch water at about 90 degrees, the tube will be deformed by the heat, can even crack or explode.
