Toilet Problems Everywhere
Access to hot water is important to Canadians as cold weather can suddenly turn into unbearable freezing conditions without warning. Heating water is a solution most people turn to. However, using hot water tanks in Saskatoon can sometimes result in troubles such as breakdowns. To prevent problems with water heaters, yearly maintenance is suggested. Marcia Dunn of the Associated Press reports for The Huffington Post on how this water heater trouble can be experienced even as far away as in space:
“A galley water heater is being blamed for smoke aboard the International Space Station.
Russian astronauts reported smoke and a burning smell in their main compartment Tuesday. There wasn’t enough smoke to activate the alarms or to warrant the use of masks by the six-man crew. The smoke came from a vent and dissipated within a half-hour or so.
Commander Steven Swanson says there was only a small amount of smoke and everyone was fine.
The astronauts quickly disconnected the electric water-heating unit and activated air purifiers in the Zvezda (zuh-VEZ-duh) compartment, Russian for star.
On Wednesday, the astronauts installed a spare unit. NASA says it’s working normally.
A similar problem occurred in 2009.
The astronauts say they didn’t see anything unusual with the removed device.”
