In winter, the pumps used in water supply systems in northern regions are prone to freezing; to address this issue, we should take the following measures to maintain these pumps. The following six points are precautions for winter water pumps. It is necessary to carry out regular maintenance to prevent the water pump from cracking due to freezing, thereby extending its service life. 　　 　　1. If the water pump freezes, pour hot water or boiling water into it to melt the ice. Or heat the water pump housing. 　　 　　2. Place the pump in an environment at normal temperature. Any temperature above zero is fine. 　　 　　3. Drain the water from the water pump, and add water again when in use. Prevent the water pump from freezing and cracking. 　　 　　4. Use an underground pump. The water pump is placed underground; generally, since underground water pumps are deep below the surface, they do not freeze. 　　 　　5. Use insulated water pumps. Add insulation to the steam or hot water. To prevent the water pump from freezing. 　　 　　6. Use a non-self-priming centrifugal pump. When in use, just add water
